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...

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...

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.
很有意思的一本书,学到了好多奇奇怪怪的知识。 比如因为基因型的差异,有人会觉得茉莉花有蜂蜜的香味,而有人会联想到尿味;还有牙科诊所的味道来源于丁香提取物(用于麻醉);香草为什么贵,结个豆荚太不容易了,每天只开一朵花,只有一种蜂才能授粉,豆荚发育需要6-8个月,还只有一种真菌才能让种子发芽;为什么叫五月酒,五月以前香猪秧秧里的香豆素积累尚不够高,毒性不强所以可以加到酒里;关于金鸡纳树的小故事也很有趣;Raki竟然可以用无花果酿造……红色白金花的配图是错误的
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
评分不喜欢抖机灵
