Big Fat Cookies

Elinor Klivans

Bigger is better in the cookbook that “opens up a whole universe of giants, including chocolate chip whoppers and king-sized raisin pillows” (The Boston Globe).

Nobody’s ever made baking history with a scrawny cookie. No matter what the occasion, nothing beats the big, fat, homemade kind. With this deliciously fun cookbook and a few simple ingredients, anyone can whip up a quick batch of one of fifty different gigantic crispy, chewy, or fancy-pants sandwich cookies. From classic Super Chocolate Chip to colossal Mocha Mud Mountains, Jumbo Coconut Macaroons to Lemon Whoopie Pies, this is total cookie satisfaction. Introductory material includes tips on buying the best ingredients, techniques such as mixing and forming the perfect round, baking ahead and storing, and for those who actually like to share their cookies, how to pack them up safely so they won’t break on the way to the party. So, get that sweet tooth ready and bite into a Big Fat Cookie.

“Cookies don’t always get much credit for being desserts, partly because of their small size. Klivans’s creations, however, give cookies the size they need to hold their own at the end of a meal (or anytime) . . . Even those who spend very little time in the kitchen will be inspired to break out their baking sheets after thumbing through this enticing book.” —Publishers Weekly

“A former pastry chef and author of several baking books, Klivans draws heavily on the classics—chocolate chip, oatmeal, shortbread, gingerbread—but she always manages to interject an unusual twist . . . a book that any cookie-loving reader will want to use over and over again.” —East Bay Times

Kombucha

Louise Avery

Kombucha is a fermented drink (made using tea, sugar, a simple bacteria and yeast) that is known for its health-giving properties. It is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, along with the trends for home-fermenting, preserving and enjoying 'living' foods.
Louise Avery began brewing kombucha in 2010 as part of a self-sufficient and healthy lifestyle, living on a Scottish Island in the Hebrides, simply because she loved its unique and more-ish taste. Now she is one of London's best-connected kombucha producers. Here she reveals her tried-and-tested recipes that use the freshest produce to create truly delicious cold teas. Starting with an introduction to kombucha, Louise offers information on the types of tea you can use to flavour your kombucha, the health benefits of drinking it, the essential equipment you will need to brew your own and the dos and don'ts when it comes to selecting other ingredients. Following this, she presents a step-by-step basic process for brewing kombucha, bottling and storing and controlling the yeast. Recipes are then organised by type of base: 'Fruit', with recipes for Blood Orangeade, Pear and Ginger, Pomegranate and Lime, a Cranberry Cleanse and Blueberry Lemonade; 'Vegetable', including Sour Rhubarb Fizz, Striped Candy Beetroot and Lime, and a Virgin Mary. Next up, 'Flower' has ideas for Hibiscus Kombucha, Rose Petal Tea, Lavender Love and a Hoppy Pale Ale, while 'Herb, Spice and Tea' is where things heat up with Lemongrass Tea and two Turmeric Immune Boosters as well as Jasmine Kombucha and a Lychee Basil 'Mojito'. You'll be spoilt for choice for ways to flavour this health-giving drink.

Whiskey Business - How...

Tom Acitelli

Discover the underdog story of the improbable rise of small-batch distilling in America. This bracingly written, fast-paced work traces the relationship of Americans to spirits such as bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, and rum. And it presents the full story of a plucky band of entrepreneurs who disrupted the nation's conception of how those libations could appear and taste—and how much they could cost. Tom Acitelli weaves the unlikely triumph of the small-batch distilling movement into other major trends, including a neo-Prohibitionism that nearly croaked the entire thing, America's re-embrace of cocktails, and the twin rises of craft beer and fine wine. He also expertly delves into the controversies currently wracking American spirits, ones that threaten to tank the movement at the moment of what should be its greatest triumph.
