ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Sharon
Tyler Herbst, dubbed the foremost writer of user-friendly food and drink
reference works, is an award-winning author of
sixteen books. The New Food
Lover’s Companion—broadly
hailed
as "A must
for every cook’s library!"—made
her reputation as a culinary powerhouse. Emeril Lagasse,
television's hottest chef,
chose it as his favorite food book for his American Library Association's
"READ"
poster. Numerous internet sites (including Condé Nast’s Epicurious,
TV Food Network
and Amazon.com)
feature Food Lover's Companion as their online dictionary. Julia Child
praised Sharon’s Food
Lover’s Tiptionary as "An invaluable help for all!". The Ultimate A-to-Z
Bar Guide is in its fourteenth printing and was an instant
bestseller.
Several TV quiz shows (including "Jeopardy") cite Sharon’s books
as references. She's also a food and travel journalist, as well as a
spokesperson and consultant for national food and beverage companies. Sharon is a media personality with
myriad appearances on local and national radio and television shows
including "Good Morning America" and "Today." She's a
past president and eight-year board member of the International Association
of Culinary Professionals. 
Ron
Herbst, long
a passionate and dedicated enophile, is a freelance wine and travel
writer. He's the author of The New Wine
Lover’s Companion, one of the bestselling wine books in the
world. It's also the wine dictionary on several internet sites, including Condé Nast’s
"Epicurious."
Ron collaborated with Sharon on The
Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide, which has sold over 100,000 copies. He has also contributed to
many of Sharon's other books in myriad ways—as a research wizard (at which
he excels), by tasting (and even testing) countless recipes, as
business and creative consultant and as a computer expert. Ron is a
frequent guest on radio shows and is
currently penning another tome related to wine and food.
One man’s cookbook is another woman’s soft porn: there’s a certain
sybaritic voyeurism involved, an indulgence by proxy.
—Margaret Atwood, Canadian novelist, critic
