Wine Time is a nice hors d'oeuvres and tapas recipe book with wine suggestions for light entertaining or enjoyment alone written by Barbara Scott-Goodman. Due out 23rd March 2021 from Chronicle Books, it's 192 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

This collection has a very sleek and clean look. The food styling and photography are gorgeous and plentiful. The recipes are arranged roughly thematically: snacks & bites, dips & spreads, cheese, vegetables, bruschetta & toasts, seafood, meat, sauces & condiments, and wine cocktails. The recipes each contain an introduction, ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar, and step by step instructions. Measurements are given in American standard, with metric in parentheses (yay!). The ingredients are mostly relatively easily sourced, but some might require mail order or access to a well stocked gourmet stockist.

The recipes cover a huge range of casual to very elegant and relatively simple/inexpensive to a lot more expensive and exclusive ingredients. Each recipe has specific wine suggestions for pairing.

Four stars. This book would make a superlative selection for home cooks, wine aficionados, local food fans, adventuresome cooks, and other lifestyle readers. It would be very well received along with a bottle of wine for a housewarming or hostess gift. This is a well written, eminently reasonable, usable guide to making and enjoying excellent small bites with excellent wines.
