Booze for Babes & Cooking with Booze

Sips of the Week Kayleigh Kulp, author of Booze for Babes: the Smart Woman’s Guide to Drinking Spirits Right, joined Laurie for a ladies primer on Scotch.  Kayleigh is a Washington, D.C. based freelance journalist, covering business, hospitality, and food and beverage topics for Travel + Leisure, Private Clubs, Wine & Spirits, Capitol File, the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, The Latin Kitchen, Wine Enthusiast, AARP The Magazine, and more. She’s won numerous awards from the Maryland, Delaware and D.C. Press Association and the Virginia Associated Press Broadcasters. Garioch Founder’s Reserve, Highland, Scotland, $39.99 at Wine World Distillery Notes: Nose – Warm amber in appearance, sweet vanilla and subtle spice combine with fruitier green apple and grapefruits on the nose. Palate – Butter cream and vanilla pave the way to fruity green apple skin and citrus cleanliness, leading to an elegant and subtle finish. Auchentoshan 12 year, Lowland, Scotland, $44.99 at Wine World Distillery Notes: Triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. Our Lowland Single Malt Whisky has the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelized toffee and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste. Bowmore 15 Year, Islay, Scotland $70.99 at Wine World, 12 year for $51.99 at Highland Wine & Spirits Distillery Notes: Matured in an inspired combination of both bourbon and sherry casks, it’s the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Years Old ‘Darkest’, one of the most beautifully balanced Bowmores, the rich, deep colour reflected in its name, and its warming finish. On the eye treacle dark amber. Breathe in delicious dark chocolate, sun-dried fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke. Sip wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee. Savour the robust and complex finish with a hint of sherry tannin.  Sips of the Week can be found (or ordered) in Maryland at Highland Wine & Spirits in Howard County or Wine World in Harford County or anywhere else in the US by searching WineSearcher.com Wine Sandwich Ryan Jennings co-author of Cooking with Booze, joined Laurie to give some tips on using spirits in your favorite recipes. Ryan and Dave teamed up in 2003 to explore how the liquor cabinet could be used as an extension of the spice rack. Driven by their passion for simple food—and their love of fine spirits, wine and beer—their efforts culminated in 2006 with the publication of Cooking with Booze. The critically acclaimed title quickly became a Canadian bestseller and has since been reprinted internationally. In 2007, Ryan and Dave launched www.cookingwithbooze.com—an online resource for all things food and booze related—and set out to write their second book, Entertaining with Booze.
