The Book of Tea describes all aspects of the Japanese tea ceremony and explains how its rituals blend seamlessly with traditional Japanese life.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition has an afterword by Anna Sherman and delightful illustrations by Sayuri Romei.
This short book, written in English by a Japanese scholar and artist, was first published in 1906 at a time when Japan was opening up to Western culture. In response to that, Okakura Kakuzo set out to explain the beauty and simplicity of Japanese daily life which was greatly inspired by teaism. He describes in detail the different aspects of the tea ceremony, how it was founded, the role of the tea masters, the architecture of the tea-room and the stages of making and serving the tea. He then goes on to explain the connection between Taoism and Zennism with tea and he also writes chapters on art appreciation and the art of flower arranging.
How did drinking the infusions of a unique plant from China become
a vital part of everyday life? This gift book presents an
entertaining and illuminating introduction to the history and
culture of tea, from its origins in the Far East to the flavours
and properties of different varieties, and the rituals of tea
preparation and drinking around the world. This simple hot beverage
is suffused with artistic and religious overtones. The Chinese Ch'a
Ching gave very precise guidelines to the preparation and sipping
of tea, and the Japanese tea ceremony elevated it to an art form.
Following its introduction to the royal court in the seventeenth
century, the British created their own traditions, from the
elaborate etiquette of afternoon tea to the humble pot of tea at
the heart of family life, and the modern appreciation for specialty
infusions.
More than 80 years before the invention of Coca-Cola, sweet
carbonated drinks became popular around the world, provoking
remarkably similar arguments that they do today. Are they
medicinally, morally, culturally or nutritionally good or bad? They
have been loved - and hated - for being cold or sweet or fizzy or
stimulating. Many of their flavours are international - lemon and
ginger were more popular than cola until about 1920. Some are
local: tarragon in Russia, cucumber in New York, red bean in Japan,
and chinotto (exceedingly bitter orange) in Italy. This book looks
at how something made from water, sugar and soda became big
business but also became deeply important to people; fizzy drinks'
symbolic meanings are far more complex than the water, gas and
sugar from which they are made.
An A-Z compendium of everything you need to know about coffee, from
a champion barista. Coffee is more popular than ever before - and
more complex. The Coffee Dictionary is the coffee drinker's guide
to the dizzying array of terms and techniques, equipment and
varieties that go into creating the perfect cup. With hundreds of
entries on everything from sourcing, growing and harvesting, to
roasting, grinding and brewing, three-time UK champion barista and
coffee expert Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood explains the key factors
that impact the taste of your drink. Illustrated throughout and
covering anything from country of origin, variety of bean and
growing and harvesting techniques to roasting methods, brewing
equipment, tasting notes - as well as the many different
coffee-based drinks - The Coffee Dictionary is the final word on
coffee.

A unique, comprehensive and colourful guide to over 250 breweries,
cider mills, vineyards and distilleries across Britain.
"Entertaining and thorough. an essential handbook" Charles Maclean
Recent years have seen a huge increase in the number of these
places all over the country not only operating but also welcoming
visitors, from small single-man producers working from home to
large, world-famous labels, and from well-established brands to the
revival of 200-year-old manufacturers that had almost been lost to
prosperity. Now, for the first time, they have been gathered
together in a single book which celebrates their craftsmanship,
pinpoints their locations, describes who they are and what they do,
and provides detailed information about how you can visit and
sample their wares. Expert authors Ted Bruning, previously of
What's Brewing magazine, and Rupert Wheeler, previously of Whisky
Magazine, focus on places that are normally open during the holiday
season, have a visitor centre and shop, and (in most cases) welcome
families so you don't have to leave the kids in the car! Arranged
by country, with chapters concentrating on individual counties and
regions, no matter where you are you'll find a brewery, cider mill,
distillery or vineyard within reach, many in historic, beautiful or
quirky locations, from a brewery in a windmill to a distiller in
the operating theatre of a former animal hospital.
Thanks to the masticating juicer, which crushes fruits and
vegetables into a smooth juice without destroying vital nutrients
the way heat-producing centrifugal juicers do, the health benefits
of drinking homemade juices has reached incredible new heights.
Packed with over 300 recipes, "Cold Press Juice Bible" is the
ultimate guide to getting the most out of these revolutionary
machines.
By juicing at home, consumers can choose exactly which ingredients
to put into their bodies, skipping processed sugars and artificial
ingredients in favor of organic fruits and seasonal vegetables that
are chock-full of minerals, vitamins, and life-saving antioxidants.
"Cold Press Juice Bible" explains how to maximize health benefits
while balancing the complex flavors these machines are capable of
extracting.
In addition to fruit-by-fruit and veggie-by-veggie nutritional
breakdowns, the author shows readers how to mix and match a wild
variety of ingredients to create delicious artisanal flavors. Going
beyond recipes, the book lays out four different juicing diets
readers can incorporate into their daily regimens, ranging from
short detoxifying cleanses to weight-busting, long-term diet
strategies.
