Marsala

If you are knowledgeable about cooking wines, then you are likely familiar with Marsala. It is among the most often used varieties of white wine in cooking. You are familiar with Marsala chickens, correct? If your answer is a yes, then do not be surprised because most cooks prepare Marsala chickens with Marsala wines. After all, Marsala originates from Sicily, an Italian island renowned for its cuisine and wine. Naturally, it is perfect for creating Marsala chickens.

However, Marsala wine may also be used in a number of cream-based meals. Again, acidity is a significant factor in its culinary desirability. So one thing to keep in mind, though, is that you should seek a drier Marsala. In general, sweeter white wines are not especially useful in cooking. One tip is to look for the term "secco" on the label. This term, which means "dry," signifies that your food will not have an overly sweet flavor.

Last but not least, if you are passionate about making foods with Marsala - and yet cannot locate it in your local wine store - you can always use Madeira instead, which has a somewhat similar taste.
