January 03, 2009 - New website, www.EasyFoodandWine.com, has just introduced a Vegetarian Recipes & Wine Pairings section, offering meatless choices for vegetarians and health-conscious individuals.
www.EasyFoodandWine.com was launched in August 2008, and also offers easy gourmet recipes featuring poultry, seafood, beef and pork. Each recipe featured on the site includes two recommended wine pairings.
"After our site launched, many of our readers wrote in to recommend that we add in a vegetarian section," said Michael Kass, co-owner of www.EasyFoodandWine.com and the designer of the site's recipes. "Many people choose to eat vegetarian meals, either regularly or exclusively, both for health and ethical concerns, and we wanted to ensure that these readers would have options that corresponded to how they eat."
The first recipe in the Vegetarian section, currently the featured Pairing on the site, is a Porcini Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto paired with a 2005 Novy Syrah from Santa Lucia Highlands and the Giacosa Fratelli "San Rocco" Dolcetto d'Alba from Piedmont. Amy and Michael plan to introduce several more vegetarian recipes and wine pairings soon, with new recipes already in the works.
“A lot of people think that wine really requires meat to shine, in particular with red wines where the animal proteins help counterbalance the wine's tannins" said Amy Kass, Michael's wife and co-owner of www.EasyFoodandWine.com, responsible for selecting each wine pairing as well as the content of the site's wine blog. "Our experience has been that this is just not the case - that the flavors, textures and composition of many vegetarian meals are every bit as good an accompaniment and compliment to wine."
Www.EasyFoodandWine.com is designed to provide easy-to-follow recipes and fine wine pairings that any home cook or amateur wine enthusiast can follow and prepare. Mike has specifically crafted each recipe on easyfood andwine.com to be both elegant and wine-friendly while requiring minimal time investment as well as cooking expertise. Each recipe is accompanied by two wine recommendations selected by Amy, with both a “Splurge” wine that is pricier or harder to find and a “Steal” wine that is under $15 a bottle and readily available throughout the U.S.
New recipes with wine pairings and wine articles are added to the site regularly, and those who would like to receive new postings as they can come out can join the www.easy food andwine.com newsletter. Sign-up information is available at the site.
