I'm giving this book 4 stars for Michael Jackson's top notch knowledge and good descriptions of Scotch Malt Whiskies. In the late 90's, an earlier edition of this book was a fine guide for me as I explored the world of whisky beyond that which was available on the supermarket shelf.
Nowadays though, I don't really find his writing as relevant as it once was, as my tastes have branched out beyond the confines of Scotland. While the Scottish distilleries are still my favourite and are covered in this book great detail, other countries are given a brief mention at best (7 pages out of 448). The Japanese are currently producing some excellent (and award winning) whiskies, and I feel they merit more of a mention than a few paragraphs. I ... Read More: >>More Details |

After attending one of Simons wine tastings at the 'Taste of London' tour in 2007 i purchased his book to learn more about his particular style of wine tasting. Simon pretty much teaches us how to enjoy wine, for our enjoyments sake, NOT as some poncy lifestyle choice.
I've spent a few years investigating the smells and tastes of wine but i've never read a book that cut it all down to the basics, so much so that my own boyfriend started to take an interest in wine. Its not dusty, arrogant or prejudiced. It is pure advice. And good advice at that. Simply put, this is a book for people who dont care what vintage/soil/country/brand a wine comes from as long as it tastes nice. It helps you distinguish what flavours you fancy so ...

"Man Walks into a Pub" is a well researched piece of work from a guy who spent a fair number of years in the booze trade. I bought this book after it was featured in a copy of the Writers' Forum and the author seemed to be a genuine down-to-earth fellow; the kind of regular who you'd be likely to meet in a local bar.
It's packed full of anecdotes - for example, the average pint back in 1914 was 8% in strength (compared to 4-5% today). This is the kind of book that your father would enjoy on his birthday, at Christmas or on Father's Day. It's a read for the man who probably has just about everything and you can't think of what to get him. It covers economic, social and business aspects of alcohol. Even politics is discussed - for ...

Morrissey's Perfect Pintby: Neil Morrissey, Richard Fox September 01, 2008 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

I picked this up thinking it would do as a stocking filler for anyone keen on Morrissey or Men Behaving Badly. However, having had a good look through I'd say that this book has enough bar jokes and anecdotes to satisfy the men behaving fans but also has a number of really good brewing recipes and beer tips to genuinely interest amateur beer brewers and enthusiasts. Overall, a very good read.

The Wines of Burgundyby: Clive Coates April 02, 2008 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

I believe this books provides an excellent overview of a very complex region. Few people have such an up to date insight into wine making in Burgundy. The first part of the book provides a detailed overview of wines and wine makers, the second part reviewes the vintages. Indeed, it is unlikely many people are going to taste wines older then a decade, but it still provides much insight into the best wines.

The Malt Whisky File: The Essential Guide for the Malt Whisky Connoisseurby: John And Tucek, Robin Lamond, Robin Tucek, John Lamond October 18, 2007 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

As a whisky lover, I can honestly say this is the most useful and knowledgeable guide to malt whisky on the market, one that will help guide you through the huge plethora of delicious malts being produced in Scotland (and further afield). And I'm delighted to say that it has been fully revised and updated with even more tasting notes.
Each malt is graded according to its sweetness, peatiness and cost which is much more meaningful than say Michael Jackson's somewhat arbitrary mark out of a hundred that he gives each whisky. With labels for each malt reproduced in full colour and published in a handy pocket format, this is a must for anyone who loves drinking Scotland's amber nectar. >>More Details |

I own one of the pubs listed, the George and Devonshire, in Chiswick. It is the oldest pub in Chiswick, built some time prior to 1657, and we still trade in the original building. However, Bob Steel commits the cardinal error of not checking his facts by casually stating the the pub is s '20th century re-build', which would appear to be obvious nonsense to anyone who has actually visited the place! If Bob Steel did not visit the George and Devonshire, which is Casque Mark accredited for the quality of our real ale, how many other pubs included in the book were also not visited?

diffordsguide Cocktails 7by: Simon Difford October 10, 2007 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

I've owned (or been given) a number of different cocktail recipe books over the years. Not a single one of them comes anywhere close to the exhaustive range (2000+ recipes) and precision of Difford's. I now find myself looking at other cocktail books and laughing at their ludicrous oversimplification - you can find books that call themselves 'The Professional Bartenders Guide' which suggest that the only Martini recipes in existence are 'dry', 'sweet' and 'Gibson'. Diffords by comparison has dozens - and comes with an excellent potted history of some of the major classic cocktails.
Many recipes come with short notes suggesting variants (and the reasons for variation) and there are numerous tweaks to classic cocktails listed that you'll want to ... Read More: >>More Details |
