Description
Looking for snacking euphoria? Look no further than crisps and drinks! Whether you want to upgrade your hosting abilities, impress friends with your flavour pairing knowledge or wow your in-laws at a family picnic, drinks expert and C4 Sunday Brunch presenter Neil Ridley has got you covered.
Crisps and drinks go together like Batman and Robin and have been enjoyed throughout the ages. With over 130 crisps and 80 drinks covered, Neil Ridley draws upon his years of expertise to show you how to:
– Find out the perfect crisps to pair with your drink or vice versa, be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic
– Create seasonal pairings throughout the year
– Design your own snacktravaganza
– Learn more about the secretive world of crisp flavourings
– Take a trip down memory lane to learn what crisp and drink pairings were all the rage in the decade you were born in
– Use a flavour wheel, shaped as a Disco crisp no less!
Divided into sections including Wine, Beer and Cider, Spirits and Cocktails, and Non-alcoholic, each pairing profile includes tasting notes, humorous titbits (did you know there used to be hedgehog flavoured crisps?) and other unique pairings.
From classics such as Roast Beef Crisps and a pint of bitter, Salt & Vinegar Crisps and Sauvignon Blanc, or BBQ Crisps with Argentinian Malbec to the more unlikely sounding pairings of Pickled Onion Monster Munch and a gin-based Gibson cocktail, Scampi Fries and Smoky Scotch Whiskey or Japanese Chilli Rice Crackers and a Shiraz, as well as illustrations throughout, this book is your gateway to sensational snacking.
