Jared Brown - Böcker

Shaken celebrates The Martini - the quintessential American cocktail, the crowning jewel of civilized decadence. Authors and expert mixologists Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown, revise their list of the top 100 Martini recipes, update their 100 Martini Renaissance concoctions - from chocolate to Cajun to espresso Martinis - to suit current taste, and expand their history of the rise of vodka and gin cocktails in America. In the past fifteen years the way people think about and drink cocktails, especially Martinis has radically changed. In this new edition, the reader will learn bar techniques from the 25 of the world's finest mixologists, what and where to buy the necessary supplies for a well-appointed and modern home bar, the favorite cocktail formulas of the world's leading bartenders, and much more!

This is a comprehensive attempt to assemble all that is known of theatre at the time of America's political birth. Because many plays performed during the Revolution were overrun with partisan politics, they were not always aesthetically enticing; yet this was one of the only historical eras in which the theatre was used by both sides to help achieve military and political objectives. Whether moralistic or satirical, the plays of the revolution offer unique insights into the sympathies and fears of both loyal and dissident parties, and so serve as a telling document of a socially turbulent age. Brown's extensive research coheres into an invaluable theatrical and historical chronicle which should prove a useful resource for those working in the field.
