A Beginner's Guide to 5 Food and Wine Pairings
If you're anything like me, your love of food started early. My parents were never the type to do any type of meal planning, but there was never a shortage of creative cooking in our household. My father liked to experiment with the limited ingredients he could get his hands on in rural Newfoundland and Labrador where we lived, in the center of a cold island on the North-East coast of Canada. My mother made us pancakes and blueberry sauce, fried tomatoes with our breakfast, and considered toast with tea to be a cure for anything that ails you. What passed for a fancy meal or an adventurous ingredient when I was young may seem laughable to me now, but at the time I accepted fruit and yogurt in a wine glass, topped with chocolate shavings, as the very definition of gourmet.
