Lots of recipes and fascinating facts about plants and alcohol ( ) I'm on a foodie kick right now, reading books about recipes and food creation. This one was a very interesting look at the role of plants in our alcoholic beverages. Pretty much everything alcoholic thAt we drink comes from some type of plant. This book goes into detail about how the major alcoholic beverages are created and how they were discovered and the history behind them. As well as how different fruits and spices are added and used to make up our favorite concoctions. Several interesting drink recipes are included as well as directions for growing some of your own plants, and creating some liqueurs and mixers. Makes me want to take a run to Binny's!! no reviews | add a review
Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries. No library descriptions found. |
