Nice Vinegar Recipes

This is a good little book if you want to make your own vinegars or to give them as gifts. I thought they would last longer, but I guess that's no one's fault. I like the book.

Essential guide for creating and using your own vinegars.

As an avid chef, herb gardener and creator of decorative oil and vinegar bottles, I am always searching for a recipes to create my own vinegar infusions. When I came across this book I knew I had found the source I was looking for. The author covers all bases from how to make your own infusions to what to do with them once you have created them. He divides the book into different types of vinegars like fruit, classic, savory, herbal and balsamic, the latter of which no one can make since only true balsamic comes from Modena,Italy, but its inclusion is necessary and his recipe for roasted polenta with mushrooms and balsamic sauce is well worth the price of the book. There is also some fun facts and history. If you are looking for ideas of what to do with all that overgrown tarragon and rosemary in your garden, this book is for you.
