.7lbs in 7 Days Super Juice Diet
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: Jason Vale

June 05, 2006
This is another one of those diets that will lead to weight loss if you stick to it for a whole 7 days - and then as you'll put it all back on again and be back to sqaure one as soon as you go back to your normal way of life or when you end up eating all the foods you spent the 7 days thinking about!! I love juices but this is NOT the best way to lose weight for the long term.Beyond Chocolate: How to Stop Yo-yo Dieting and Lose Weight for Good

.Innocent Smoothie Recipe Book: 57 and a half recipes from our kitchen to yours
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: Innocent

April 03, 2006
I have never really liked smoothies, milkshakes etc but as part of a healthy eating plan, thought I would be better snacking on these than crisps! This book is great, it has a good selection of both smoothies and juices and also a good insight on which fruit to use and what they are good for etc. It is very well written and has some delicious recipes- yes delicious! One thing to mention is that you will need both a smoothie maker and a juicer if you want to make all the recipes.

.The Juice Master: Turbo-charge Your Life in 14 Days
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: Jason Vale

April 04, 2005
Finally, I've found somebody who has told me that dieting doesn't work and actually PROVED to me that he's right! I never would have believed it but I've found the solution to my health and weight problems all in one book (or two - because I found the 7 lbs in 7 days juicing plan an absolute 'must'). This man talks little rubbish, doesn't pussy-foot around with words and makes complete and utter sense just as long as you're open to admitting it! You really cannot disagree with anything here. Whether you follow the plan itself or not, I would defy anybody who reads this book not to think twice before diving into that packet of biccies or frying up a pound of sausages - and perhaps (even hopefully??) choosing an alternative.

.First Steps in Winemaking
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: C.J.J. Berry

December 31, 2002
C J J Berry was a master on winemaking. I have bought and read most books on winemaking. This is the one I always turn back to. If you have to buy one book on homewinemaking this is the one! He begins my explaining the concepts and techniques of winemaking in easy to understand terms. He also explains the science behind the process but he is never confusing or condescending. I have never come across a problems which has not been solved by his troubleshooting section and his procedures are comprehensive but easy to follow. The remainder of the book takes you through a wine making year with suggestions, recipies and leaves you confident enough to experiment successfully. All recipes are in metric, imperial and US measures. He leaves you feeling that country ... Read More:

.The Classic 1000 Cocktails (Classic 1000)
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: Robert Cross

January 15, 2003
This book does exactly what it says on the cover and that is give you 1000 cocktail recipes.... but not a lot more than that. It is clearly laid out but dull. You need this book in your house hold in the same way as you need a drain un-blocker. It's very very useful but not very pretty.

.The World Atlas of Wine
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
by: Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson

October 18, 2007
The ever increasing size of this book reflects the increasing interest in wine, so it now lands with an impressive thump on your desktop. Though its content doesn't always reflect who that new market is.

The authors start with a, rather meandering, description of the history and production of wine and some basic notes on tasting, appreciation and handling of wine. Some of this is very useful, most of it is very basic for someone who already knows the subject and all of it could do with some editing to make the best of their material. Some of it punctures some of the myths about wine such as how long wines should be laid down and do you really need to let wine breath. Elsewhere they perpetuate some of those myths, for example they still seem to give the whole ... Read More:

.The Oxford Companion to Wine
City Travel Guides > Books > Drinks and Beverages
from: OUP Oxford

September 21, 2006
.

Thirty years ago this book could not have been written. With the increasing ascendancy of the New World wine makers and in particular the influence of the Davis campus of the University of California, viticulture and oenology are now rigorous, scientific and commercially oriented professions. This is reflected in the "Oxford Companion to Wine" which has to be the most comprehensive, authoritative and accessible resource dealing with all aspects of the world of wine.

Jancis Robinson who edited this encyclopedia of wine is a highly respected wine writer and educator. She is also very well credentialled, holding the prestigious title of "Master of Wine".

The real power of this book as an information source is the very effective use of cross ... Read More:

I've just started a new bar job, and I pretended I'd done it before!haha So in a panic, I needed a really good book I could learn basics from! I couldn't decide on amazon which cocktail book I wanted, so I went into Waterstones - I'd seen Difford guide mentioned on Channel 4's "Come Dine with Me" where one of the hosts had his cocktail published in it! I must say this is by far the BEST cocktail book around! This has even got the history of cocktails! Which glasses to use for what, and the different techniques for making cocktails! As well as every cocktail I could possible think of - with pictures. Tells you what glass, garnish and how to serve it i.e with straw, etc. I liked it so much, I couldn't wait ordering it from Amazon, i bought it for £25 straight away! Well worth ... Read More:
