Book Description

November 1, 2006 Drinkology
If you’re going to drink, don’t you think you should have a little something to eat, too? In this, the third volume of STC’s highly successful Drinkology series, cocktail impresario James Waller joins forces with caterer/food designer Ramona Ponce to teach the world’s boozehounds how to chow down. Think of Drinkology EATS as the essential “to-your-health foods” cookbook. From scrumptious, no-fuss edibles to serve up at your own home bar, to the makings of a perfect Champagne brunch, to the dos and don’ts of throwing a cocktail party—for half a dozen friends or a hundred revelers—Waller and Ponce offer easy-to-follow recipes for everything from homemade potato chips and icebox crackers to herb-encrusted gravlax and savory buffalo kebabs. Along the way, the authors dispense a tankardful of practical advice and more than a jigger’s worth of the Drinkology series’ trademark wit and irreverence.

Whether you’re planning the menu for a beer bash, a tropical drinks–themed get-together, a martini-soaked afternoon tea, a holiday fête, a nightcap snack, or a morning-after breakfast, Drinkology EATS is the must-have handbook for at-home entertaining. Elegantly illustrated by Glenn Wolff, the book also features a round of brand-new cocktail recipes guaranteed to whet your guests’ appetites.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Waller enlists the aid of caterer Ponce for this follow up to the Drinkology volumes on wine and cocktails, an entertaining guide with a rich and varied selection of finger foods and unique drinks. Ponce's catering experience adds invaluable perspective to what could have been just another collection of recipes. As it is, this text-heavy guide covers a lot of culinary ground. Staples such as Deviled Eggs, Spiced Nuts, guacamole and ceviche are included, but those looking for more upscale offerings will find suggestions for Chicken Liver Mousse with Currants and Madeira, Salmon Roe Canapes and Carrot-Fennel Quiche. Ponce's suggestions for party planning, condensed in Chapter 10 ("The D.I.Y. Bash"), include everything from how to hire bartenders to calculating your booze needs ("P + (P x H) = D") to making sure there's "something for (nearly) everyone." Waller brings a number of cocktails to the party, including the classic highball, the Easiest, Best Frozen Margarita Ever, and TNT Coffee (which calls for Tía Maria and white tequila). Though the numerous personal asides can grate ("James well remembers the first time he had cucumber sandwiches"), this handy guide has enough variety and depth for many successful shindigs.
