    The Book of Gin - A Spirited...

    “An absorbing popular history of one of history’s most popular drinks.” —Booklist   Gin has been a drink of kings infused with crushed pearls and rose petals, and a drink of the poor flavored with turpentine and sulfuric acid. Born in alchemists’ stills and monastery kitchens, its earliest incarnations were juniper flavored medicines used to prevent plague, ease the pains of childbirth, and even to treat a lack of courage.   In The Book of Gin, Richard Barnett traces the life of this beguiling spirit, once believed to cause a “new kind of drunkenness.” In the eighteenth century, gin-crazed debauchery (and class conflict) inspired Hogarth’s satirical masterpieces “Beer Street” and “Gin Lane.” In the nineteenth century, gin was drunk by Napoleonic War naval heroes, at lavish gin palaces, and by homesick colonials, who mixed it with their bitter anti-malarial tonics. In the early twentieth century, the illicit cocktail culture of Prohibition made gin—often dangerous bathtub gin—fashionable again. And today, with the growth of small-batch distilling, gin has once-again made a comeback.   Wide-ranging, impeccably researched, and packed with illuminating stories, The Book of Gin is lively and fascinating, an indispensable history of a complex and notorious drink.   “The Book of Gin is full of history that will make you grin . . . An enchanting read.” —Cooking by the Book

    A creative guide to making mealtime fun instead of frustrating, with over fifty recipes! “Finally . . . A cookbook that encourages kids to play with their food.” —Times Union   Every toddler goes through a temporary phase when they want nothing but “O”-shaped cereal. But the real challenge for parents is getting kids to ask for fruit salad instead of cupcakes.   Faced with this seemingly impossible task with her own child, Jennifer Carden has created The Toddler Café, a guide to making mealtime with children fun and interactive. It offers simple, creative ways for kids to look at their food differently—like saying tuna salad is what mermaids eat—or making Minty Pea Pops in ice cube trays. Carden has created over fifty unique recipes that encourage families (including toddlers) to work together to prepare, eat, clean up, and best of all, look forward to a healthy, delicious meal.   “Full of great ideas to have fun with children at the table.” —Super Chef Blog
