The Wildcrafted Cocktail: Make Your Own Foraged Syrups, Bitters, Infusions, and Garnishes; Includes Recipes for 45 One-of-a-Kind Mixed Drinks Kindle Edition

One of those books that look nice, but the recipes are very difficult. Ingredients are not commonly found in most markets or stores (South Carolina, USA). Sold this one a few weeks after I got it b/c I couldn't get much out of it.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for a close friend and when we were looking through it upon her receipt, I decided that I had to have it. As Pacific Northwesterners that live in this woods and areas where we can forage a lot of these things (Chanterelle syrup anyone?), this is definitely a must have. Even if you don’t imbibe, these recipes would be great for virgin style drinks or to make and give as gifts. Holistic drinking? That’s my kind of drink.

Because Ellen Zachos is a friend and foraging buddy, I have had the good fortune of tasting the results of her wild mixology. The drinks she concocts with foraged ingredients are delicious, intriguing, and well-balanced. In her book, she not only takes you through the botanical details you will need to know in order to make her cocktail recipes, but also shares great foundation skills for inventing your own imbibe-able recipes. Highly recommended.

This book is neat, but very impractical. Does not have many “easy” recipes.

Got it as a gift for my partner who is a professional bartender. They are very interested in learning more about cocktail ingredients, and its fabulous for learning techniques like making your own bitters and infusion syrups. It's really neat to have a field guild to finding things in your area.

There are a lot of helpful recipes in this book if you’re into foraging and or a bartender or mixologist. Then this book is for you. It’s full of interesting inspirational motivating cocktails. That can help any bartender be inspired to create his own.

I loved this book's humor combined with detailed wild recipes, but most of all I loved her personal comments that made you feel as though she's sitting in your kitchen sharing her best secrets.

Very unusual seasonal ingredients. Not practical. Should have expected that.

A nicely laid out book, with a very readable style. Unfortunately of little use in the UK as many of the foraged plants are not native to our shores, so it was disappointing in that respect.

Molto carino come libro nella costruzione e nelle istruzioni, ovviamente una versione piu incentrata sul territorio "europeo" sarebbe stata una scelta piu valida per l acquisto nel territorio italiano. Ovviamente alcune piante presentatw le ritroviamo anche da noi il che salva il tutto.

Prodotto consigliato per chi si avvicina al mondo della wild mixology con ottimi spunti per sperimentare anche nuove ricette. Presentazione dei cocktails molto curata e prezzo del libro super concorrenziale. Consigliato.
