WHICH FORK DO I USE WITH MY BOURBON?

Setting the Table for Tastings, Food Pairings, Dinners, and Cocktail Parties

Written by

Peggy Noe Stevens, Susan Reigler, with a foreword from Fred Minnick

Educating yourself in the wonderful world of whiskey just got a glow up. Which Fork Do I Use with My Bourbon? is the ultimate guide to gaining an understand of what it takes to host a Bourbon tasting (and with that I of course mean an outstandin­g party too) to remember. From the renowned Bourbon and entertainm­ent experts, Peggy Noe Stevens and Susan Reigler, here I have no doubt that you will find the perfect companion to your Bourbon tasting journey.

After spending many a lockdown hour losing myself in this book, not only did it provide some escapism from the confines of our day-to-day life at the moment, but also something to look forward to creating. And oh my, will you be equipped to create it to utter perfection.

Both Peggy and Susan are no strangers to being asked about how to replicate tastings at home, so finally they have given us an answer we can read again and again. As Peggy herself says, “Which Fork do I Use with My Bourbon? encompasse­s our career in whiskey and hospitalit­y and when the two are combined, creates an extraordin­ary experience for your guests. Our tips and tricks of the trade may be done in your own home and in your own true style.”

Within the book you will find yourself met with a plethora of tips and tricks to ensure your Bourbon gatherings (hopefully taking place in the latter half of 2021) will be second to none. Peggy and Susan offer up a selection of delectable recipes including some of their favorite snacks, entrees, desserts, and, of course, cocktails.

Although there is a lot of fun to be found here, you will also gain invaluable education when it comes to holding and enjoying tasting experience­s. Let’s face it, while we’re safely in the confines of our own homes it is an ideal time to start practising and refining your skills.

Susan perfectly sums up the duo’s creation, “Peggy and I wanted to pass along some ideas for entertaini­ng with the Bourbon-based Kentucky hospitalit­y that we both grew up with and love to enjoy with our friends.”

Which Fork Do I Use with My Bourbon? is available worldwide now.
