An illustrated compendium of booze, boozers and boozing, written from the perspective of a lifetime of relentless, selfless and, at times, extremely intimate research into this specialist field, often with complete disregard for personal safety and well-being.
It’s all about drink but the many aspects thereof.
-
- Tons of ingenious recipes to inspire the befuddled chef in the kitchen
- Hundreds of cocktails and punches, both the classical and the more avant-garde
- Histories of beer and brewing, wine and wine making, spirits and distillation
- Ramblings around treasured bars and bartenders, both past and present, near and far
- Palpable instructions to effortlessly create your own liqueurs, spirits and bitters at home
- A bit of modernist booze science and magic to flabbergast your sottish guests
- And a few personal reminiscences of a boyhood in the Hop Garden of England
Altogether an excellent vade mecum to peruse on either side of the jump, in the kitchen or on the bog.
290 gin-soaked pages of glorious booze, this hefty tome weighs as much as a bottle of London gin and comes up to its shoulders.
All written, designed and illustrated by Olimax
