Cocktail Codex


From the authors of the best-selling and genre-defining cocktail book Death & Co, Cocktail Codex is a comprehensive primer on the craft of mixing drinks that employs the authors' unique "root cocktails" approach to give drink-makers of every level the tools to understand, execute, and improvise both classic and original cocktails. "There are only six cocktails." So say Alex Day, Nick Fauchald, and David Kaplan, the visionaries behind the seminal craft cocktail bar Death & Co. In Cocktail Codex, these experts reveal for the first time their surprisingly simple approach to mastering cocktails: the "root recipes," six easily identifiable (and memorizable!) templates that encompass all cocktails: the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip. Once you understand the hows and whys of each "family," you'll understand why some cocktails work and others don't, when to shake and when to stir, what you can omit and what you can substitute when you're missing ingredients, why you like the drinks you do, and what sorts of drinks you should turn to--or invent--if you want to try something new.

The Seven Moods of Craft Spirits


The second in the “Seven Moods” series, this little guide is destined to become the pocket bible to craft spirits for years to come. Now is the most exciting time for craft spirits. Craft distilling is riding a perfect wave, as consumers look for provenance and heritage, drink less but better, and seek bespoke and original drinks rather than homogenous global brands. Gin distilling has become particularly popular in London, tequila is back in fashion, Cuban rum is making a resurgence, and great whiskies are being created everywhere, from France to Japan, Taiwan to Denmark. Gone are the days of brand loyalty. Instead, drinkers are choosing from a portfolio of drinks to match where they are and what they are doing, from a relaxing gunpowder tea-based gin to a festive spiced rum, and from a contemplative single malt to a fiery absinthe. Brought together in one accessible guide, here are 350 of the world’s most interesting and innovative spirits – whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums, brandies, liqueurs, poteens, tequilas, piscas, schnapps, and brandies/cognacs. Researched and written by leading whisky writer, Dominic Roskrow, each entry includes a specially commissioned drawing, tasting description, strength, distillery information, and spirit type. Each chapter is devoted to seven different moods (Social, Adventurous, Poetic, Bucolic, Contemplative, Gastronomic, Imaginative), and alongside the entries there are numerous useful features on related subjects, including gin and whisky distilleries, spirit bars, whisky festivals, craft distillers, and mixing spirits and food.

The World Atlas of Coffee


Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink. Champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed. Country by country - from Bolivia to Zambia - he then identifies key characteristics and the methods that determine the quality of that country's output. Along the way we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine, to why strength guides on supermarket coffee are really not good news. This is the first book to chart the coffee production of over 35 countries, encompassing knowledge never previously published outside the coffee industry. For everyone who wants to understand more about coffee and its wonderful nuances and possibilities, this is the book to have

A Short History of Drunkenness


A comic history of humankind's love affair with booze, from the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of The Etymologicon 'Haha! . . . Highly suitable for Xmas!' - Margaret Atwood Almost every culture on earth has drink, and where there's drink there's drunkenness. But in every age and in every place drunkenness is a little bit different. It can be religious, it can be sexual, it can be the duty of kings or the relief of peasants. It can be an offering to the ancestors, or a way of marking the end of a day's work. It can send you to sleep, or send you into battle. A Short History of Drunkenness traces humankind's love affair with booze from our primate ancestors through to Prohibition, answering every possible question along the way: What did people drink? How much? Who did the drinking? Of the many possible reasons, why? On the way, learn about the Neolithic Shamans, who drank to communicate with the spirit world (no pun intended), marvel at how Greeks got giddy and Romans got rat-arsed, and find out how bars in the Wild West were never quite like in the movies. This is a history of the world at its inebriated best.

Velká kniha o rumu


Jedinečná kniha o rumu, kterou si prostě musíte vychutnat až do dna! Rum – od cukrové třtiny až po degustaci. Rum si podobně jako víno nebo whisky zaslouží ušlechtilá slova. Výjimečné aroma, delikátní chuť... tento úžasný nektar se degustuje stejně jako velká vína. A navzdory tomu, co si mnozí myslí, jediným domovem tohoto moku není Karibik. Od Karibiku přes Latinskou Ameriku a Evropu až po Japonsko – autoři nás vezmou na dobrodružnou cestu za poznáním těch největších značek, známých i méně známých, a otevřou nám dveře do lihovarů, které používají celou škálu výrobních metod, od těch tradičních až po ty nejmodernější. Pokud k rumu chováte alespoň částečné sympatie, určitě víte, že aroma tohoto výjimečného nápoje se nejlépe rozvine v menších sklenicích na malé stopce ve tvaru tulipánu, podobné té, z níž se ve Španělku popíjí sherry. Možná ale netušíte, že na světě existuje 16 000 různých druhů rumu a rozmanitost jejich chutí nezná mezí. Ovšem existují jen dvě hlavní variety – rum vyrobený z melasy, což je to, co zbyde při zpracování cukrové třtiny, a rum z čerstvé třtinové šťávy. Ten první je zpravidla sladší a těžší, jeho aroma často připomíná hrozinky, čokoládu, karamel nebo přezrálé banány. Ten druhý je svěžejší, jemnější a má svůj specifický charakter. Rum je také považován za nápoj pirátů. Nejznámější z nich, tedy pokud necháme stranou filmového Jacka Sparrowa, byl nepochybně Henry Morgan, který dal jméno asi nejznámějšímu rumu u nás Captain Morgan. A stejně jako kdysi piráti se i vy nyní můžete vydat na cestu kolem světa – se skleničkou v jedné ruce a naší knihou v ruce druhé. Je libo kubánský Havana club, Doorly‘s z Barbadosu, Angosturu z Trinité, Appleton z Jamajky, Centenario z Kostariky nebo Diplomático z Venezuely? Ještě váháte? Není třeba, s kvalitním doutníkem a skleničkou výborného rumu se vám svět bude zdát krásnější. Přece znáte to staré americké přísloví, které praví, že střízlivost je úžasná věc…, pokud se užívá s mírou.

Milk!


Mark Kurlansky's first global food history since the bestselling Cod and Salt; the fascinating cultural, economic, and culinary story of milk and all things dairy--with recipes throughout. According to the Greek creation myth, we are so much spilt milk; a splatter of the goddess Hera's breast milk became our galaxy, the Milky Way. But while mother's milk may be the essence of nourishment, it is the milk of other mammals that humans have cultivated ever since the domestication of animals more than 10,000 years ago, originally as a source of cheese, yogurt, kefir, and all manner of edible innovations that rendered lactose digestible, and then, when genetic mutation made some of us lactose-tolerant, milk itself. Before the industrial revolution, it was common for families to keep dairy cows and produce their own milk. But during the nineteenth century mass production and urbanization made milk safety a leading issue of the day, with milk-borne illnesses a common cause of death. Pasteurization slowly became a legislative matter. And today milk is a test case in the most pressing issues in food politics, from industrial farming and animal rights to GMOs, the locavore movement, and advocates for raw milk, who controversially reject pasteurization. Profoundly intertwined with human civilization, milk has a compelling and a surprisingly global story to tell, and historian Mark Kurlansky is the perfect person to tell it. Tracing the liquid's diverse history from antiquity to the present, he details its curious and crucial role in cultural evolution, religion, nutrition, politics, and economics.

Vše, co jste chtěli vědět o víně, ale báli jste se zeptat


Tato kniha obsahuje pětadvacet kapitol a každá z nich má mezi dvěma a osmi stránkami. Některé stojí převážně na faktech a poskytují odpověď na otázky o tom, která vína mají nejméně kalorií nebo co znamená, že má víno pachuť po korku. Jiné, jako například ty o přínosu červeného vína pro zdraví nebo o tom, zda záleží, z jaké sklenky víno pijete, jsou spíše věcí názoru. Každá kapitola je samostatná, a může tak být čtena nezávisle na ostatních. Máte-li palčivou touhu dozvědět se odpověď na konkrétní otázku, určitě můžete přeskakovat. Avšak pořadí kapitol má svůj význam. Úvodní kapitoly o tom, jak se vyznat v jednotlivých lahvích a v tom, co obsahují, slouží jako základ pro ty následující, kde je vysvětleno, jak víno vybírat, kupovat, uchovávat a pít. Každá z otázek je rozebrána a zodpovězena v čase kratším, než byste potřebovali k vypití malé sklenky. A na konci každé kapitoly vám „Jedním douškem“ nabídne úplný základ v čase, který sotva stačí k polknutí jednoho doušku. Víno se může zdát složité jako jaderná fyzika a děsivé jako skákání s padákem, ale je zbytečné z něj mít strach. Vždyť je to jen lahev zkvašených hroznů. Vínu lze porozumět. A tato kniha vám s tím snad pomůže.
