Amaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas


Description

From the James Beard and IACP award-winning author of "Bitters"--one of the bestselling cocktail books of the last 10 years--comes this exploration of the world of bitter liqueurs, ranging from familiar favorites like Campari and Fernet Branca, to more obscure potables such as Zucca and Ramazzotti, featuring more than 70 amaro-centric cocktail recipes. Brad Thomas Parsons, author of the James Beard and IACP Award-winning "Bitters," always has his finger on the pulse of what's new and exciting in the world of cocktail-making. But in this case, what's new is old--specifically, the centuries-old European tradition of making bitter cordials and liqueurs. In his first book since "Bitters," Parsons takes readers on a breathtaking tour of the Italian countryside, opening readers' eyes to the rich history and vibrant culture of amaro today. Then, he returns to the United States, where contemporary mixologists are incorporating amari into a delicious and eclectic array of cocktails. Gorgeous location and cocktail photography; an impeccable package; and more than 100 recipes for DIY amaro, amaro cocktails, and amaro-spiked food will make this the must-have beverage book of the season.

Winner of the NESTOR LUJAN HISTORICAL NOVEL PRIZE. "I was nervous about this book. Finding a good novel in translation from the tiny state of Andorra, nestling in the Pyrenees between Spain and France, was always going to be tricky... I was in for a pleasant surprise... Salvado has certainly done Amaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas free download pdf his homework: the book is painstakingly researched... By and large, the level of detail and historical knowledge is well-handled... The text itself felt professional and slick... this is a highly readable light novel... powerful flashes of insight into human greed, pride and ambition..." (ANN MORGAN, Andorra: Buried treasure, A Year of Reading the Word, http: //ayearofreadingtheworld.com/2012/02/22/andorra-buried-treasure/, London, february 22, 2012) This is the history of the time of Pharaoh Snefru and Queen Hetepheres, the parents of Cheops, who built the largest and most impressive pyramid of all. It is also the story of Sedum, a slave who became Cheops' teacher, the high priest Ramosi, and how the first pyramid came to be built. Sebekhotep, the great wise man of that time, said, "Everything is written in the stars. Most of us live our lives unaware of it. Some can read the stars and see their destiny. But very few people learn to write in the stars and change their destiny." Ramosi and Sedum learned to write in them and tried to change their destinies, but fortune treated them very differently. This is a tale of the confrontation between two men's intelligence: one fighting for power, the other struggling for freedom. Other critics' opinions: "It is a long time since a prize was so justly awarded. THE TEACHER OF CHEOPS deserves every honour... An intrigue that develops at a good pace without causing anxiety... A restrained and inspired piece of writing; an outstanding, intelligent and well-constructed novel." (RAMON VENTURA, El Periodico) "Salvado develops the mystery with great skill in his novel." (JACINTO ANTON, El Pais) "Salvado presents a story about power and knowledge through a fast-paced plot combining intrigue, love, mystery, murder and adventure." (ROSA M PINOL, La Vanguardia) "Albert Salvado displays seasoned writing skill in this novel... A very well-organised plot... A straightforward, effective style that is a pleasure to read... He achieves accuracy in his writing." (IGNASI ARAGAY, Avui)"
