PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 08, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Keith Wallace and Brian Freedman are writing a food and wine book for a national publishing house! Philadelphians know Keith and Brian from The Wine School of Philadelphia, as well as a number of wine and food publications. The book is to be based on the school's popular Corked & Forked series of cooking and wine classes.
Keith debuted the Corked & Forked cooking classes earlier this year. "I had been a chef in my early twenties, so I figured I could relive a bit of my wayward youth," he says. "I didn't expect they would be such a success, and I sure as hell didn't expect that a publishing house would want me to turn these classes into a nationally-distributed book. That was a real surprise."
Keith brought Brian into the mix immediately. "I still have to run The Wine School and I have another potential book in the works. Well, that, and Brian and I have fun cooking together and drinking." The classes are going to continue, but now with added spice: Keith and Brian will be trying out their cookbook ideas on the unsuspecting folk of Philadelphia. Those attending classes will get a taste - literally - of what's to come, and be able to add their two cents into the mix.
Organized by season and occasion - from a summer picnic to autumn brunch - every important moment of any given year will be captured in the upcoming cookbook. Deceptively simple but impressive recipes will be paired with great beers, wines, cocktails, and cordials. But don't take "every important moment" too too literally. Keith and Brian will also be including the ever-important meals like "Making Up With the Girlfriend", "On the Death of a Beloved Goldfish", "Sorry I Used Your Razor and Left it Rusting in the Soapdish", and "Just 'Cause", to name a few.
The recipes promise to be healthy, creative, and delectable; and all of them will be designed with real people in mind. An added plus is that each of the 100 recipes to be featured will include tricks of the trade and explanations so that even the most novice of cooks can feel like a superstar chef. And with Keith's and Brian's vast food and drink knowledge, the suggested beverage pairings are sure to heighten all the dishes in their arsenal, elevating the simplest of dinners into a special occasion.
Which major publishing house has the rare honor of publishing this tome? Wallace isn't saying just yet, though he does offer an obvious hint to whom it may be: "I will say that I love them: they are my heroes. This is my first book, and it's going to be as tough as slaying Medusa to get it done on time."
Corked & Forked food and wine pairing classes have been scheduled through July 2010. Check them out at http://www.vinology.com, and be sure to come along for a ride which promises to be one riotous, albeit delicious, culinary adventure.
