From the Alamagoozlum to the Zombie 100 Rediscovered Recipes and the Stories Behind Them

Review:This is a must read for any aspiring bartender or mixologist... It is a good grasp on "where things came from", why they are called what they are called, and the love for BITTERS! it aint classic if it aint gotta bitters! haha no but this is a great read if you can't get your hands on the Savoy Cocktail book and there's a ton of information including Procedures for each drink and WHERE to purchase every product he talks about.

and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese - A Tale of Love
and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese - A Tale of Love

Review:Paterniti is an excellent writer who seems to have embarked on a very complicated journey. His descriptions of the small Spanish town of Guzman and its eccentric inhabitants take you there as he sits with you at the center of the action. My only complaint is since the story is so convoluted as it unfolds, it takes a long time to reach the conclusion. Read more

Big-Flavor Recipes to Enhance Brain Function - and Mental Clarity

Review:Rebecca Katz has outdone herself this time! The Healthy Mind is full of pages of recipes, including soups, desserts, main dishes and snacks that are accessible, doable, and delicious. (Not at all like the many cookbooks on my shelves that I turn to for one or two recipes.) All you need is a piece of salmon or cod and a bunch of kale, or some carrots. Being them home, pull out the book and you are set to go. No planning ahead required as the other ingredients are already in the pantry. Did I m... Read more

I have the paper back one already . They didn't have what I ordered, what I wanted in stock.

In short I ordered this book and did not get what was advertised what I wanted. Read more

Everything You Need to Know to Brew Great Beer Every Time
Everything You Need to Know to Brew Great Beer Every Time

Review:John Palmer's book is a quintessential addition to any brewer's library. It can guide a new brewer through the steps while giving a lot of useful information to more advances brewers.

My only criticism is that some times Palmer can go a little deep into the technical details (formulas, chemistry, etc) earlier in the book than I would have liked when I was just getting started. I feel like a higher level over view up front with more of the details to follow could have helped me when i was ... Read more

Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi
Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi

Review:Get Jiro! is a fun book, written by Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose and beautifully illustrated by Langdon Foss. A satire of modern food culture, the book takes place in a future LA, where tasteless boors flock to the restaurants of celebrity chefs, and where the search for celebrity food has become society's driving obsession.

Future L.A. is roughly evenly split between the rival territories of two celebrity chefs with differing philosophies - Bob, who focuses on international ingredients... Read more
