Great recipes and great stories. This book actually prompted me to go out and invest in an excellent bottle of gin; many of the drink recipes are gin-based. I assume that's because the author did a lot of traveling in the South Seas so they were medicinal (malaria and all). It has really been fun trying them out. This alone was worth the price of admission to the last Akron Antiquarian Book Fair. Volume I Being an Exotic Cookery Book, xxii 220p. Volume II Being an Exotic Drinking Book, xxii 217p. Including A Company of Hand-Picked Receipts, Each One Beloved & Notable in Its Place, Collected Faithfully on Three Voyages & a Quarter Million Miles Around The World, & Other Journeys. and A Personally Collected Regiment of World-Famous Lively Liquid Masterpieces from the Orient & Occident & the South Seas. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Charles Baker traveled the world in search of exotic food and drink in addition to interesting people with whom he could share them. Both drink travelogue and cookbook, The Gentleman's Companion is the summation of Baker's culinary and drinking experiences abroad. Baker accents his tales of high adventure with recipes for foods and cocktails that were considered unusual specimens in the 1920s and 30s.Baker, a captivating storyteller, wrote about food and drink for a number of well-known magazines. In this travelogue he relates how notorious figures, including Hemmingway and Faulkner, numbered among his drinking companions.At once a culinary guidebook and haughty memoir, The Gentleman's Companion, initially published in 1939, provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the bombastic and glamorous world of travel in the mid-twentieth century. This edition combines both volumes of the original work: The Exotic Cookery Book and The Exotic Drinking Book. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
