Originally published in 1937 by the United Kingdom Bartenders
Guild, Cafe Royal Cocktail Book compiled by William J Tarling
offers a rare glimpse into the wide array of drinks offered in
London bars between the two world wars. Tarling, head bartender at
the Cafe Royal during had two goals. He wanted to extend
thisresource to consumers. He alsowanted to raise funds for the
United Kingdom Bartenders Guild Sickness Fund and the Cafe Royal
Sports Club Fund. Thus, he drew from the recipes previously
compiled for Approved Cocktails, and added more of his own. He also
collected many more original recipes from his contemporaries. The
result was an outstanding and timely book. It did more than gather
recipes, it captured a boom time in the history of cocktails, glass
by glass. Sadly, there was only one printing and it became an
unobtainable rarity, locking away a time capsule of drinks and
knowledge. Reproduced in collaboration with the UKBG, Exposition
Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux, and Mixellany Books, this
facsimile edition unlocks that knowledge for a new generation of
consumers and bartenders around the world. Within these pages are
some of the earliest known recipes for drinks made with tequila and
vodka as well as memorable concoctions made with absinthe and other
recently revived ingredients-an essential addition to every
cocktail book library.

The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II.
"To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent
In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.
How can you get to know the history, culture and gastronomy of a
country in just a few seconds? Taste its wine! Whether you're a
restaurant owner, wine trader or tourist looking fora liquid
souvenir from Slovakia, this book will help you to find your way
around the current wines on offer on the Slovak market. Vladimir
Hronsky, the author, is a famous enologist, sommelier and Slovak
wine popularizer, and his guide introduces readers to 50 wineries
and their 365 most interesting Slovak wines. The introductory
chapters describe the characteristics of the viticultural regions
of Slovakia and the traditional and new grapevine varieties
cultivated here. Hronsky also explains the labelling of Slovak
wines and current trends in wine making. He goes on to offer
experts and non-experts alike a selection of the most interesting
wines on the market based on various requirements (wines made of
traditional varieties and popular new clones, innovative wines,
classical Tokaj wines, sparkling wines, and others). Lovers of
local cheeses will also appreciate this first English edition which
includes a chapter on the best Slovak wine and cheese combinations.
Cheese and wine are a classic combination but many cheeses taste
even better with beer or cider. Steve Jones, proprietor of the
Portland- based Cheese Bar and Chizu (cheese served sushi- style)
has been successfully matching cheeses with alcoholic beverages for
more than two decades. Here he shares his knowledge by introducing
75 different cheeses and pairing each with the beverage that brings
out the best in both. Jones provides a treasure trove of
delectable, often surprising pairings, as well as simple steps for
successful experimentation. This guide will function as a crash
course for beginners on buying, storing, and serving cheese and
alcohol, while offering more seasoned aficionados page after page
of cheese-and-beverage combinations to replicate at home. With
gorgeous photographs, this book captures the allure,
approachability, and, most importantly, the sheer joy of pairing
cheese with beer, wine or cider.

creative inspiration, displaying beautiful examples of composition,
typography and illustration. This book showcases a graphical

The head of Italy's "first family" of winemaking reflects on the
Antinoris' six-hundred-year legacy and a life of good food and
drink in the hills of Tuscany. If you know wine, you know the name
Antinori. Since 1385, this noble Florentine family has produced
some of Italy's finest wines. The Hills of Chianti tells the story
of the Antinoris and the Tuscany they call home, through seven
iconic bottles that define their legacy. From the Tignanello that
ushered in the era of Super Tuscans to limited-edition vintages,
these wines embody a way of life and will excite oenophile readers
and lovers of Italy alike. In this family memoir Piero Antinori
reveals the passion, tradition, and love of craft that have driven
twenty-seven generations of vintners: from the first ancestor who
signed up to the winemakers guild in the fourteenth century to
Antinori's own three daughters, poised to carry this most
celebrated family of artisans into the future. But The Hills of
Chianti is about much more than wine. At its heart the Antinori
story is about "Tuscan-ness": a connection to the land, an
appreciation for good food and drink, and the quintessentially
Italian love of hospitality that make this one of the world's most
inspiring and memorable destinations.
