作为一个农学学生,又非常喜欢酒,这本书自然是不可不读。在读这本书之前,我以为是讲述酿酒植物和酿造方法的书,没想到充斥着大量的鸡尾酒的内容。所以这本书封面设计中的酒瓶如果换成一杯鸡尾酒会更好。有些地方的排版略有些别扭凌乱,整体还是挺漂亮的一本书。 整本书的内容...
评分非常有趣的一本书。从植物到酒,上篇介绍常见的酿酒植物,中篇则是介绍酿酒调酒所需要的香料,最后下篇介绍辅料和装饰物,其中全文穿插着各种鸡尾酒配方,以及各类酿酒或是植物趣事。 全书结合趣味和科学,很多描写引人入胜,让人捧腹大笑。本身爱好调酒的人可以在书中发现各种...

评分拿起《醉酒的植物学家》,就像拿起一本厚厚的博物志,全书一共收录了160种植物,描绘了它们从打浆桶、蒸馏器、酒瓶直到玻璃杯的旅程。这是一个相当宏大的主题,自然界中能用来酿酒的植物何止千万,作者艾米·斯图尔特站在植物学的角度,抽丝剥茧地分析一款款酒的历史渊源、植物...

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.
一本植物+调酒的好玩工具书
评分不喜欢抖机灵
评分从品种和人文历史多个方面介绍各种植物酿酒。行文幽默,非常有趣的题材和叙述。如果本身是调酒爱好者,书里还有或经典或奇趣的配方。
评分很有意思的一本书,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.
