To me, the term cooking wine has two meanings: There's the wine you put in a dish, and―equally as important―the wine you sip while you cook. I think there's no better way to spend an evening than concocting a delicious dish while sipping a good wine for inspiration. It's easy to find a good wine to drink while you cook―in fact, it's often easier than knowing which wine to cook with.

That's because when listed as an ingredient, wine is often suggested in the most generic terms. When a recipe says, "1 cup dry white wine," you're left to wonder: "Will anything from $5 to $25 do? " Here are guidelines to help you make the best pick. If a recipe calls for dry white wine, the best all-around choice is a quality American Sauvignon Blanc.This wine will be very dry and offer a fresh light herbal tilt that will enhance nearly any dish.

I was a on the fence about making Vietnamese sticky rice cakes for Tet this year. Called banh chung, they are a must-have for the Lunar New Year which falls on Thursday, February 19. Vietnamese banh chung are a cousin to Chinese zongzi (joong in Cantonese) in that they are made of sticky rice, pork and mung beans and wrapped leaves.

In Vietnam, they’re wrapped in green leaves called la dong. In the States, most people use banana leaves. Banh chung are made with just a handful of ingredients and taste absolutely delicious – rich from the pork and mung beans and fragrant from the leaves. I could have called my mom and had her mail me one but I was embarrassed to do so. Tet is about home cooking. I look at my recipe in Into the Vietnamese Kitchen (pages 261 to 264) and gathered the ingredients – frozen banana leaves, dried bamboo leaves, sticky rice, mung beans, pork, salt, pepper and fish sauce.
