Switzerland has as many drinks as it does mountains, from absinthe
to Kirsch, Petite Arvine to Humagne Rouge, healthy pick-me-ups to
boozy keep-me-ups. Drink like the Swiss takes you on a titillating
tour of this tasty (and tipsy) aspect of Swiss culture. With nearly
a hundred recipes -- from cocktails to coffee to cocoa -- and many
delightful curiosities, Andie Pilot's colourful little book leaves
no bean unground, and no bottle uncorked.
Hard cider helped build North America, and this ode to the
fermented drink sometimes referred to as scrumpy begins with a
snapshot of that forgotten history and then goes on to present the
most comprehensive guide to tasting and appreciating the diversity
of today's rapidly growing cider movement. An overview of how cider
is made and a tasting tutorial prepare readers for the heart of the
book: Profiles of 100 ciders -- from dessert ciders, spiced ciders,
and hopped ciders to perry -- along with 30 recipes for pairing and
cooking with cider, plus 30 cider-based cocktails. More than two
dozen stories bring to life the men and women who produce some of
the hottest craft ciders around -- including 2 Towns Ciderhouse in
Oregon, Blackbird Cider Works in New York, and Cidrerie Michel
Jodoin in Quebec.
