A New York Times Bestseller
Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.
Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs--but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.
This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.
Amy Stewart is the award-winning author of six books on the perils and pleasures of the natural world, including four New York Times bestsellers, The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Bugs, Wicked Plants, and Flower Confidential. She lives in Eureka, California, where she and her husband own an antiquarian bookstore called Eureka Books and tend a flock of unruly hens in their backyard. She has spent the last few years on arduous research trips through the world's distilleries, wineries, and bars for her latest book, The Drunken Botanist.
She has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and many other newspapers and magazines, and has appeared frequently on National Public Radio, CBS Sunday Morning, and--just once--on TLC's Cake Boss. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, the American Horticulture Society's Book Award, and a California Horticultural Society Writer's Award.

评分满满当当一大厚本,足足啃了6天,小纸条写了有全书的1/10厚。知识点超级丰富,往目录里打字时才发现是以前《地下工作者:蚯蚓的故事》的同一女作者Amy Stuart,一直觉得这个妹纸在植物学领域的博学程度简直可怕。果不其然,再翻目录,又发现了还有一本她的著作,于是立刻拆开来...
评分古希腊神话里,诸神各司其职。狄俄倪索斯既是酒神,又是植物神,还身兼繁殖神和欢乐神。这是个很有意思的神祇,《神话辞典》里说他走遍了希腊、叙利亚、亚细亚、直至印度,然后经色雷西亚回到欧罗巴。一路上,他传授葡萄酿酒技术,显示奇迹:化作山羊、公牛、狮子和豹,能使葡...

关于我最怕的牙科的味道,书中写道: as a dental anesthetic because of its numbing and anesthetic effects. Distinctive dentist office smell comes from cloves.
评分了解下酿酒的过程还不错 也算植物酿酒百科全书 但这本书面向的是对植物或者酒非常感兴趣的读者 我兴趣没那么大所以读到后面就不行了

评分一本植物+调酒的好玩工具书
评分从植物的角度写酒,非常好玩,读过之后再喝纯饮会努力想喝到原料的味道哈哈,嗯慢慢体会鸡尾酒的配方。不过内容还是比较浅,需要单独看每一种酒的书
