    A classic cocktail relies on relatively few ingredients so every element has to be just right. Bitters, those little bottles you will find in any bar worth its salt, are the unsung heroes of the cocktail world. Where would the Manhattan be without orange bitters? Where would the Old-fashioned be without angostura bitters? Former bartender, cocktail historian and founder of the House of Botanicals bitters and spirits company, Adam Elan-Elmegirab presents the results of a decade of research into how bitters came to be an integral part of a perfected cocktail, guiding you from the early days of snake-oil salesmen through to the birth of the cocktail, Prohibition and the renaissance of this little-known ingredient as an essential part of the contemporary bar scene. Adam outlines the key botanicals and explains the science of flavour, describing how each characteristic can be deployed for maximum impact, and summarizes the key techniques for making great cocktails. Most importantly, he provides 50 recipes created by him and some of the world's leading bartenders. These exceptional drinks showcase the different characteristics of bitters and how they can refine a cocktail in unique ways.

  AMISH CANNING AND PRESERVING...

  Canning sounds complicated, but it isn’t; it’s just another way of cooking your food, but instead of cooking each meal as you need to eat it, you simply cook foods you can store for the long term. 
  Why would you want to do that? 
  For several reasons. First, it’s a great way to ensure you have food available in an emergency, such as long-term power blackouts. Second, it’s a great way of ensuring that you have food to hand when you don’t feel like cooking a meal from scratch or don’t have the time. And third, it lets you preserve foods when they are at their best flavor, especially if you grow your own fruit and vegetables or get great seasonal deals at farmer’s markets or grocery stores. Imagine having homemade jams and jellies for breakfast, crunchy pickles, sauces, relishes, and even meat and fish, all prepared and stored by you. 
  Canning is one of the most common techniques for preserving fresh food in jars and killing bacteria and microorganisms using heat. That heat also stops certain enzymes that can make the food go bad, ensuring you can store your food for months. 
  When you heat the jars, the air is pushed out of the jar; as the jars cool, the lids seal, creating a vacuum that helps preserve the food. Because there is no air in the jars, yeast, microbes, and mold cannot form, thus ensuring the food doesn’t go bad

  Whether you call them franks, wieners, or red hots, hot dogs are as American as apple pie, but how did these little links become icons of American culture? Man Bites Dog explores the transformation of hot dogs from unassuming street fare to paradigms of regional expression, social mobility, and democracy. World-renowned hot dog scholar Bruce Kraig investigates the history, people, décor, and venues that make up hot dog culture and what it says about our country.  These humble sausages cross ethnic and regional boundaries and have provided the means for plucky entrepreneurs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors. Loaded with stunning color photos by Patty Carroll, descriptions of neighborhood venues and flashy pushcarts from New York to Los Angeles, and recipes for cooking up hot dog heaven at home, this book is the u

  From Terrain to Brain - Forays...

  In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
   
   
   
  Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.
