Customer Reviews

Interesting book, good quality.

The book seems really interesting, with recipes and information. I only flipped through to check the quality and learned something new just in that few seconds, like the reproductive system of corn! If you like alcohol, or learning new things, it’s a good option for your bookshelf. The quality seems pretty good too, some little dents and bends but nothing structurally wrong.

Good for all

There is a lot of complexity in the study of botany, Amy Stewart manages to make it readable for all

Stewart is a genius

I have been working as a server/barista/bartender for years and there a few books that have taught me more than this one. Even as someone not working in the service industry, you will find this book to be a treat. The book is essentially a ton of small sections that break down the ingredients that go into the things we love to drink. Stewart is a wonderful story teller, funny, and informative. I would 100% recommend this read
