Whether readers are new to bourbon or already steeped in its history and lifestyle, they will gain the knowledge to make great bourbon cocktails, share them with friends and family, and expand their whiskey horizons-because the only thing better than a glass of bourbon or a bourbon cocktail is sharing it with a friend. As the saying goes, "There are no strangers with a glass of bourbon in your hand." From building your home bar to basics on cocktail technique, Heather Wibbels showcases classic bourbon cocktails-like the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, Whiskey Sours, Highballs, Juleps and more-in approachable ways. She even includes Cocktail Labs, experiments to explore classic cocktail elements and play with flavors, textures, infusions, syrups and garnishes. With over 140 recipes, this book is more than a cocktail recipe book-it's a primer on manipulating flavors and balance in whiskey cocktails. But more than that, Bourbon Is My Comfort Food is a celebration of 10 years of bourbon education and cocktails by Bourbon Women, the first spirits group dedicated to women and their love of bourbon. This book celebrates with cocktails from the Bourbon Women leadership team, branches across the nation and winners from the Bourbon Women annual Not Your Pink Drink contest. Get out your bourbon and cocktail shaker, and explore the wide world of bourbon cocktails with Heather Wibbels and Bourbon Women!

Presenting both the concerns and problems of beer consumption as well as the emerging evidence of benefit, Handbook of Beer Health and Disease Prevention offers a balanced view of today's findings and the potential of tomorrow's research.
From a beverage of warriors to a cheap and affordable commodity, beer has been a part of our consumption for nearly 8000 years. Like most alcoholic drinks it has been prone to abuse and in some counties the per capita consumption of beer has led to considerable health risks.
However, just as wine in moderation has been proposed to promote health, research is showing that beer -- and the ingredients in beer -- can have similar impact on improving health, and in some instances preventing disease. For example, some cancers like bladder cancers and the incidence of cardiovascular disease are reported to be lower in moderate beer drinkers. Furthermore there is a considerable body of emerging evidence to show that the anti-oxidant capacity of beers is high. It has been argued by some that the total antioxidants ingested in some beer drinkers equates that consumed by red wine drinkers.
The key to this, of course, is understanding and this volume presents a collection of the most current writings on the subject of beer and it's potential in health.
