The Crisp Sommelier

Neil Ridley

An indispensable guide to finding your perfect crisp and drink pairing from drinks expert and C4 Sunday Brunch presenter Neil Ridley.

'Neil is a one off. This book makes me smile, makes me happy and makes me want to eat crisps!' Simon Rimmer

'Ranging from mocktail to merlot pairings, The Crisp Sommelier is sure to excite your tastebuds with unexpected pairings you can pick up at your local shop.' Claire Dinhut


Crisps and drinks go together like Batman and Robin and with over 130 crisps and 80 drinks to choose from, Neil Ridley draws upon his years of expertise to show you how to:

  • Find out the perfect crisps to pair with your drink or vice versa, be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic
  • Design your own snacktravaganza
  • Learn more about the secretive world of crisp flavourings
  • Use a flavour wheel, shaped as a Disco crisp no less!

Divided into sections including Wine, Beer and Cider, Spirits and Cocktails, and Non-alcoholic, each pairing profile includes tasting notes, humorous titbits (did you know there used to be hedgehog flavoured crisps?) and other unique pairings. With unlikely combinations like Pickled Onion Monster Munch and a gin-based Gibson cocktail to Kombucha and prawn cocktail crisps, this is the only guide you'll need for your snacking escapades.
