Special Dinner Event with Joanne Meir for her latest book Tequila: A Guide to Types, Flights, Cocktails, and Bites August 13, 2009

Tequila has come a long way from the hangover-inducing protocol of salt, shot, lime, repeat. With tequila consumption on the rise, people are drinking tequila on more occasions, experimenting with new labels, and learning to appreciate the nuances of flavor. TEQUILA is an all-in-one reference for the top-shelf tequila connoisseur, with chapters on the history and lore of tequila, insight into how tequila is made, and a drinker's guide to the three types of tequila: blanco, reposado, and añejo. Cocktail recipes from the country's top bartenders and recipes for tequila-infused sides, mains, and desserts reveal new and innovative ways to enjoy tequila, completing this sleek and complete handbook.

Joanne Weir is an award-winning food writer, cooking teacher, professional chef, and TV personality based in San Francisco. She is the author of 17 cookbooks, including the James Beard Award-winning Weir Cooking in the City and the James Beard Award-nominated FROM TAPAS TO MEZE and Joanne Weir's More Cooking in the Wine Country.
