Sherry is a yummy, warming winter drink. It also finds its way into lots of baked and cooked products.
As noted in an earlier article, I have plans to cook with my recently-purchased bottle of sherry. For two weeks we have been trying recipes from 125 Best Chinese Recipes by Bill Jones and Stephen Wong. Dry sherry (or Chinese shaoxing wine) features in several.
