Angostura Bitters Cocktails
In 1824, Johann Siegert, surgeon general of Venezuela's army, created Angostura bitters as a medicinal tincture to alleviate soldiers' stomach ailments.

Over time, this iconic concoction has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a key ingredient in countless drinks. This spirited collection celebrates that legacy with timeless classics; inventive twists on familiar favorites, including the Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, Rum Manhattan, and Mandarin Sazerac; as well as exciting new creations such as the Fitzgerald, Old Flame, and Scarlet Ibis. It also features nonalcoholic drinks such as the famous Lemon, Lime, and Bitters, along with ideas for incorporating bitters into culinary creations both sweet and savory. Alongside the delicious recipes, sidebars dive into the brand's fascinating history, including why the iconic label is too big for the bottle and how the company keeps the formula secret.

The Brandy Milk Punch
A descendant of one of the oldest cocktails, the brandy milk punch has become a calling card for New Orleans brunch culture. In The Brandy Milk Punch, Sharon Keating and Christi Keating Sumich explore the cocktail's origins and its relationship to the Crescent City's food scene. With a versatile recipe that offers space for creative reimagining, the brandy milk punch got its start with the centuries-old English milk punch before evolving into its current incarnation in a city renowned for its commitment to revelry. This book takes a deep dive into the cocktail's key ingredients, most of which served medicinal purposes before coming together in the brandy milk punch. New Orleans stands at the epicenter of the brunch culture that has blossomed across the country in the last few decades. The Brandy Milk Punch situates the cocktail firmly within the local brunch scene and shares recipes for both the traditional brandy milk punch and the many variants invented by creative bartenders across the city. Traditional brandy milk punch has only a few key ingredients. Keating and Sumich take a deep dive into them, emphasizing the common thread of medicinal uses for all the ingredients--particularly brandy! "Brandy Milk Punch" next explores the cocktail's well-earned place in New Orleans brunch, which was central to the meteoric national rise of brunch culture over the past decade.

One Thousand Vines
The much-anticipated first book by one of the most highly regarded women in the world of wine, the French-born, US-based star sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier "The best wine book this year by a country mile."-- Western Country Magazine "Wine is easy to drink but complicated to understand. Most modern books focus on one element -- a region, history, wine science, tasting and so on. Few seek to explain it in its totality. That's what makes Pascaline Lepeltier's new book so extraordinary. It examines every aspect of wine, starting with the domestication of the grape vine thousands of years ago through the nature of the vine, the geology, flora and fauna of vineyards, the production and serving of wine, how we taste it and how we talk about it. It's a remarkable synthesis that incorporates biology, chemistry, history and philosophy... It's often said that the more we learn about wine the less we know. But wine lovers who read this book will deeply, richly profit." New York Times "One Thousand Vines is the price of a good bottle of California Pinot Noir, but it's worth an entire case...It belongs in any connoisseur's wine library." - International Wine Review "One Thousand Vines is an exceptional achievement worthy of a special place on your wine bookshelf." - The Wine Economist "I cannot emphasize how good this book is. It's tremendous work of synthesis, broad in its scope, thoroughly up to date, imaginative, philosophical, scientific and profound. There's nothing like it." -Wineanorak​ "This book is every wine book you ever needed and every wine book you could ever want." - JancisRobinson.com "Lepeltier's expertise is addictive and admirable. The talents that made her an in-demand sommelier and lecturer are the same qualities that come through in her writing." - DrinkHacker "A masterpiece that offers a deep dive into the world of wine. It's a testament to its author's passion, expertise and commitment to sustainable practices." Robert Parker Wine Advocate "Entwining culture, philosophy, history, and science, Pascaline Lepeltier's One Thousand Vines is nothing short of an astonishing work of genius. This is an essential resource for understanding wine in all its marvellous complexity." Alice Feiring "One Thousand Vines is a crucial resource for understanding wine on both a global and local scale, and an essential read for anyone who loves wine." Jon Bonn矇 "Pascaline's work is essential for anyone who wants to fully understand wine. Additionally, you will find a multitude of conceptual maps and illustrations that make the reading even more delightful." Ferran Centelles "One Thousand Vines is a rare feat: an original book about wine. Pascaline Lepeltier's work of passionate scholarship sweeps us through the disciplines which form wine's hinterland in order to illuminate her informing vision of wine: fresh, exciting, dense, grand." Andrew Jefford Winner of an OIV Award 2024 In One Thousand Vines internationally celebrated sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier answers all the important questions about wine. With three main parts - Reading Vines, Reading Landscapes and Reading Wines - the book challenges preconceived ideas about the vine and its wine. It explains where we are now, how we got here, and shows us a way forward - in how grapes will be grown, made into wine, sold and enjoyed. One Thousand Vines isn't an encyclopedia or atlas but it answers all the important questions about wine and offers the reader keys to understand the links between the bottle and the producers, terroirs and vineyards which give birth to it. With a refreshingly unique approach, star sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier offers those curious about wine not only the answers but also the tools to understand it by oneself.
The Meaning of Beer
Jonny Garrett, cofounder of the YouTube sensation Craft Beer Channel, travels in search of the deeper cultural impact of brewing--how it has become one of the world's most important inventions and shaped our lives for millennia. What's the oldest and most consumed alcoholic beverage on earth? Beer, of course. And it might just be one of our more important inventions. Since its creation thirteen thousand years ago, our love of beer has shaped everything from religious ceremonies to advertising, and architecture to bioengineering. The people who built the pyramids were paid in ale; the first fridge was built for beer, not food; bacteria was discovered while investigating sour beer; Germany's beer halls hosted Hitler's rise to power; and brewer's yeast may yet be the answer to climate change. In The Meaning of Beer, award-winning beer writer Jonny Garrett tells the stories of these incredible human moments and inventions, taking readers to some of the best-known beer destinations in the world--Munich and Oktoberfest, Carlsberg Brewery's historic laboratory, St. Louis and the home of Budweiser--as well as those lesser known, from a five-thousand-year-old brewery in the Egyptian desert to Arctic Svalbard, home to the world's most northerly pub. Ultimately, this is not a book about how we made beer, but how beer made us.

Who's Afraid of Roman矇e-Conti?
Wine can be daunting without an incisive guide. Who's Afraid of Roman矇e-Conti? is a no-holds-barred voyage of discovery, from sourcing good cheap vino to drinking its most unattainable and holiest of grails - Roman矇e-Conti - and the universe of interstellar wines that lie in-between. From new-school Burgundy, Barolo and Champagne to Tenerife, Corsica and Chianti, Noble Rot co-founder Dan Keeling visits some of the world's most renowned vignerons and vineyards on a quest to find out why some wines matter - and why many others don't. Throughout, he details the complex aspects of traditionalist wine culture, offering insights into subjects such as sulphur in winemaking, building a cellar, and many personal recommendations on what to buy for every pocket. It's wine - but not as you know it. "I love this book. There's pleasure on every page. It's essential reading for wine lovers and wine novices." - Keira Knightley "Who's Afraid of Roman矇e-Conti? makes discovering great wine as exciting as the NME made discovering great music back in the day." - Mike Diamond, The Beastie Boys "In the world of fine wine and fine eats, Keeling's palate rules. Above all, this Englishman is a literate man of taste, passion, and talent. Bon app矇tit!" Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route. "This book is bloody amazing! ... Empowering, energising and without a scintilla of snobbery, this set off little explosions of excitement in me. It's your passport to pleasure." Diana Henry "Every word and thought here is shot through with verve, wit and often piercing snark. I dare you not to be engaged by the wisdom and writing of Dan Keeling. Do you need this collection of attitude-changing essays? If you care about wine (or want to) you absolutely do." Alice Feiring, author of To Fall in Love, Drink This. "No-one writes about wine like Dan Keeling. Who's Afraid is totally absorbing and just as importantly fun. Love it." - Angela Hartnett
