   This is a very easy reading book, but certainly is not a beginner’s book. The book seems tailored to someone who is really into winemaking. I for one am not going to buy grapes in 100 pound lots and crush them into juice when I can buy kits with the juice already processed. There are endless details in the book, perhaps useful to the advanced winemaker, but boring to us beginners. Again, the book was interesting reading, but not of much use to a beginner.

   Hands down the best wine making book. For the home wine maker that is going from grapes and wants to make the best wine they can. Simple easy to use but then dives in deeper as needed if you needed to know. I have it with me all the time on my commute to work, during the the crush and press period, to read and reread, take notes etc.

   Highly recomend.

   According to this book, you’ll need lots of specialized equipment and $$ to make your own wine. Disappointing.

   If you do not like cleaning dishes then don’t start wine making. I am a homebrewer and in wine making everything has to be sterile more than brewing beer. If you choose to make wine the this book is for you. Has step by step process of making wine.

   Is a very intresting tool for the people who love wine like me, and need to go deep into the wine production. In this book it is all the small details that are in the process, from the grapes fermentation to the botteling and labeling, it is a step by step covering everything you need to now to make your own wine at home. It is very profesional edition. Thank’s God my wife and me will get our own firt bottles of the wine for the holidays this year, and everybody in the family will take one.

   Relationships can sometimes become stale. Creating a romantic experience with the help of, “Romantic Dinners for Two” reminded me why I married the man I did. The evening was filled with anticipation and excitement. The meal turned out fabulous, the step-by-step instructions and DVD were easy to follow and I even used some of the Mood Enchancers the night of and throughout the week. It was an evening full of passion.
   Even my husband said he would try the next rendezvous. Amazing!!

   “Romantic Dinners For Two” is and instructional guidebook for lovers on how to create romantic evenings and ignite passion. This hardcover book also includes a DVD to help guide readers.

   Chef Robert Catherine is a chef and culinary arts teacher in Windsor, Ontario. A lover of food, he has learned that not only can he please his eaters but he has also used it as a tool to seduce his wife! Barb Catherine has a passion for interior design and knows how to create an atmosphere. Together they have combined their knowledge for you, the reader, on how to create your own romantic evening without even leaving home.

   It is easy for most people to get lost in the shuffle of every day life. Children, work, house, errands, finances, in-laws, family. Sometimes, we forget about the person whom is the most important in our lives. A book like this may be the simplest gift to give yourself (or someone else) and get the passion back into their life. The book and DVD include a shopping list, invitation ideas, a 7-day planner, romantic scenarios and conversation starters.

   This book was easy-to-follow and offered some nice tips as well as photographs. The DVD was a nice addition. Chef Robert walks you through tips and advice on how to create a nice meal, while Barb helps us with setting the atmosphere! Some of the tasty recipes included in this book are: Raspberry Flan, Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing and Beef & Onion Marmalade in Puff Pastry.

   There is no other book out there like this and would be perfect for Valentine’s Day, Sweetest Day, an anniversary, wedding or a birthday gift!

   Pick up a copy of “Romantic Dinners For Two”, and one or two for friends!

   As the title implies, “Romantic Dinners For Two” is a compilation of recipes and menus for the creation of three complete dinners for two special people. But not just for courting couples wanting the perfect date! These are dinners that would ably serve to make a special dining occasion for anniversary celebrations, birthdays, Valentine Day, Christmas, special announcements and events (like getting engaged or having a baby), or a simple romantic evening at home. “Romantic Dinners For Two” is more than just another theme cookbook as it also includes an instructional DVD with step-by-step cooking instructions that can turn even the most novice of kitchen cooks into accomplished chefs. There are tear out Invitations; tear out Seven Day Planners and Grocery Lists; advice for creating romantic scenarios and settings; suggestions for Mood Enhancers; questions that will serve to initiate conversation, final preparation and serving schedules for perfect presentation from beginning to end. Superbly illustrated with full color photos of finished dishes, “Romantic Dinners For Two” is a unique and enthusiastically recommended addition to any personal cookbook collection.

   What a great idea. Here is a very beautiful book, with DVD to show exactly how to make a five star gourmet meal for just you and your “Lov’er”. Chef Rob’ert shares some of his secret recipes for the first time; and does so in such a pleasant, clear manner, that you can’t fail to turn out an exquisitely romantic dinner. Even the setting, the ambiance, the conversation is all portrayed beautifully.And what an atttractive and charming wife he has to assist, and be ‘ze objet de amor’ ! ( They speak perfect english, you should be relieved..they are an American couple ). This is a great idea. I hope to see a whole series of these -as long as Chef Rob’ert is willing to reveal …shhh..his top secret recipes!

    Chef Robert and his wife Barb have been sharing romantic dinners for over 24 years. In their new book they show you how to create four course dinners. There are three dinners to choose from and there are extremely detailed instructions that anyone can follow. The shopping lists are especially helpful and they also include a section on tools and equipment so you have everything before you start cooking. The tear-out invitations are a nice touch and the romantic ideas throughout the book help to make your evening unforgettable.

    The recipes from the third rendezvous include:

    Shrimp with Julienne of Vegetables in a Zesty Cream Sauce
    Salad Greens with Vegetable Tower
    Pork Chops Stuffed with Spinach, Apple and Wild Rice Blend
    Raspberry Flan

    Now if this seems like a lot to cook all in one night then you will be happy to know that there is a “Seven Day Planner” for each evening. Most of the work occurs one or two days before you serve your dinner. In the first meal the planner says to make the Chocolate Mousse on Day 5 and then the rest of the dinner is made on Day 6. On Day 7 you are mostly concerned with cooking the main course (which is all prepared and in the refrigerator) and serving dishes you have already prepared (like the salad).

    If you love to cook with your partner then you will want to skip to the third dinner where you can cook together. Each recipe has a full-color picture and detailed instructions. Overall this is an excellent way to seduce your partner with delicious gourmet foods. The “Conversation Igniters” also make sure you are talking about interesting subjects.
