Chelsea Green Publishing Co Cider Planet: Exploring the Producers, Practices,
Book SynopsisWINNER OF GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARD 2023: DRINKS CATEGORY Longlisted for the André Simon Award for Drink Books for 2022 Real cider, craft cider, farm cider, artisan cider: Whatever you wish to call it, at its best, cider is made and should be enjoyed like a fine wine, with all of the sophistication but less of the pretentiousness. Just as there are many volumes devoted to the great wine regions of the world, we now need a ‘cider appreciation’ manual to fully understand and delve into the rich culture of cider and perry. Cider Planet is that book and Claude Jolicoeur is our expert guide. In Cider Planet, Claude Jolicoeur – a cider expert, a passionate cider maker, and author of the internationally-acclaimed New Cider Maker’s Handbook – takes readers to the world’s greatest cider regions, providing a guided tour and a deep understanding and appreciation for how this ‘Prince of Beverages’ is made. Describing orchard practices and specific apple varieties used in different countries, he reveals the long and proud history of the world’s oldest ciderlands. He also profiles different cider styles and rituals and learns from some of the most knowledgeable producers and local cider experts in each country. Cider, though, is no longer just a traditional European drink. In recent years it has caught on in other parts of the globe and Jolicoeur talks about these new and emerging regions, which are building upon the old traditions and creating new ones of their own. Jolicoeur also explores the most revered areas for making pear cider or ‘perry’, and he even transports readers to Kazakhstan, famous as the ‘birthplace of the domestic apple’.Trade Review"Claude’s unique involvement with the international craft cider scene makes him the perfect guide for the rest of us. He takes a deep look at the way that traditional and industrial cider processes have come to differ as much as they do, and he explores the distinct histories of ciders and perries in different countries and the way in which their fruit and climate have influenced their drinks. Along the way, he introduces us to some exceptional cider making personalities worldwide. In the light of the huge revival of interest in craft cider and its differentiation from the mainstream, this book is both timely and fascinating." —Andrew Lea, author of Craft Cider Making"In his new guide to global cider, Claude Jolicoeur offers a characteristically thorough overview of regional traditions and emerging trends. His even-handed descriptions of cider styles, fruit selections, and production methods describe the various influences shaping this often-misunderstood drink. What is ‘modern’ cider? How does it contrast with traditional and more artisanal styles? This is a very helpful and unbiased survey for those planning travel destinations, or are curious to learn where favorite local producers fit within the big picture of the Cider Planet." —David Buchanan, owner, Portersfield Cider; author of Taste, Memory"In typical erudite fashion, Claude brings his encyclopedic knowledge of orcharding practice, cidery process, and apple and pear varieties with him. Whether it’s being transported to Kazakhstan (the birthplace of the domestic apple), wandering the perry orchards of Herefordshire with Tom Oliver, exploring the diversity of apple varieties from North America, or a visit to any of cider’s other homes, this is the perfect accompaniment for a fascinating pomologically inspired voyage." —Susanna Forbes, Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery"Cider Planet is a delightfully written how-to, history, and travelogue all rolled into one fantastic read. Over the decades, Claude Jolicoeur has become one of the world’s most knowledgeable and articulate cider geeks. If you are a seasoned cider veteran or just getting curious, Cider Planet is for you." —John Bunker, apple historian; author of Apples and the Art of Detection"A delightful and deeply researched guide to the world’s best drink. Required reading for every ciderhead." —Rowan Jacobsen, author of Apples of Uncommon Character“[Jolicoeur] has brought his sharp intellect and endless curiosity to a new project. . . [Cider Planet is] well-referenced and utterly fascinating.” —CIDERCRAFT Magazine"A celebration of cider, a subject rooted in tradition and history. This is a well-written, very deeply researched and engaging book. Its easy-style account of cider and perry making, from every conceivable aspect, manages to keep momentum and showcase variety. Jolicoeur's story shines a light on ciders and perries and their producers around the world." —The Guild of Food Writers Awards

Little, Brown Book Group A Brief History of Tea: Addiction, Exploitation,
Book Synopsis'Absorbing and sometimes shocking' - Literary Review'A masterful historical study' - The Good Book GuideBehind the wholesome image of the world's most popular drink lies a strangely murky and often violent past. From its first discovery to the present day, this is an extraordinary story of a great world obsession.When tea began to be imported into the West from China in the seventeenth century, its high price and heavy taxes made it an immediate target for smuggling and dispute at every level, culminating in international incidents like the notorious Boston Tea Party. In China itself the British financed their tea dealings by the ruthless imposition of the opium trade. Intrepid British tea planters soon began flocking to India, Ceylon and Africa, setting up huge plantations; often workers were bought and sold like slaves.Roy Moxham's account of this extraordinary history begins with his own sojourn in Africa, managing 500 acres of tea and a thousand-strong workforce. His experiences inform the book and led him to investigate the early history of tea - and the results of his researches reflect little credit on the British Empire, while often revealing a fascinating world story.Trade ReviewAbsorbing - and sometimes shocking. -- Christopher Ondaatje. * Literary Review *Very well written . . . enlightening. * Financial Times *A masterful historical study. * Good Book Guide *This book is a fascinating mix of personal experience, a passion for the subject and an enthralling history. * Yorkshire Gazette and Herald *

For the beginner, the first chapter has you covered with all you need to know to start brewing. From there, you can read on to gain further knowledge at whatever pace you choose. For more experienced brewers, How to Brew is a reference book for just about everything you want to know about brewing beer at home, covering ingredients, equipment and brewing techniques.

It works at all levels. -- Mitch Steele, COO and Brewmaster, New Realm Brewing CompanyJohn Palmer's How to Brew has been a great resource for homebrewers ever since he self-published the first edition in 2000. As the former owner of a homebrew supply store myself, I appreciate John's focus on how to avoid some common pitfalls that many aspiring brewers stumble over with his wise emphasis on “the top five priorities.” From the basics (equipment and raw materials), to the critical (cleanliness), to the fun part (making your own beer recipes), this book covers the brewing process from start to finish. This new edition offers more information with an updated layout and expanded table of contents, which make it even easier to use. Anyone contemplating homebrewing, or looking to step up their homebrewing game, should start here. -- Ken Grossman, Founder and Brewmaster, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.John Palmer has established himself not only as an authoritative homebrewing author and teacher, but also as a valued contributor and instructor in the professional brewing world.

The result is a book that is incredibly approachable while being steeped in brewing wisdom. -- Matt Brynildson, Brewmaster, Firestone Walker Brewing Co.I'm in awe of John Palmer's book, How to Brew, and I'm jealous that I didn't have it when I first started brewing.

And just as suddenly the market is flooded with new offerings of this "old fashioned" spirit--the growth from just a dozen brands 15 years ago to more than 225 today is unprecedented. Author and spirits expert Clay Risen now offers a road map to the phenomena of rye. A detailed introduction includes a history of rye, how it's distilled, aged, and earns its distinguishing qualities. Sections include info on how to start collecting rye, read a whiskey label, and how to have a whiskey tasting. Extensive rye whiskey accounts are organized alphabetically by distillery and brand and each of more than 225 expressions include a color photo of the bottle, info on proof, age, average price, tasting notes (nose, palate, finish), and is rated on a four-star scale. The author with a group of expert tasters "blind tasted" each and every one--a first for a spirits book of this scale. The result is a groundbreakingly innovative and invaluable asset for the whiskey lover navigating the world of American rye.
