This review is from: Slurp: Drinks and Light Fare, All Day, All Night (Paperback)

The best thing about this book is the stunning photography. It starts out with some basics talking about the various types of barware and garnishes. The book is then divided by the time of day. It gives recipe for non-alcoholic and alcoholic breakfast drinks and a couple of recipes of what would go with them food wise. It then goes on to cover lunch and dinner. The recipes are simple. There are a few recipes that I thought I might try. As far as a drink book goes, you get a lot more in an actual bar book. If all you want is just a sampling of drinks this book would be good for you.

Slurp is so much fun that I can't wait to drink it all up. I love every sip of this book from cover to cover, each and every recipe looks delicious and I adore all the tidbits in between: tips, tricks and fun lists of great reasons to host a cocktail party. Slurp would make a terrific gift book for any occasion, just be sure to buy one for yourself. This book is a gem of drinks, food and fun and one that must be soaked up immediately.
