ISBN: 097609374X ISBN-13: 9780976093749 Publisher: Jared Brown OUR PRICE: $11.35 Product Type: Paperback Language: French Published: May 2008 Annotation: Originally published in 1896, Bariana: Recueil de toutes boissons amricains et anglaises-written by Louis Fouquet, head barman at The Criterion in Paris-is regarded as the first French cocktail book. Although the title implies there are many American and British mixed drinks in this volume, there are also creations that are truly unique to France within these pages. The barware that was also illustrated in this volume demonstrates the level of sophistication that Parisien bartenders were able to achieve in the thirty years after mixed drinks made their appearance in French drinking culture around 1862, when the wine industry was stuck a near-fatal blow with the introduction of phylloxera. This facsimile edition is reproduced from the 1902 edition found in the book collection at Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spirtueux on le de Bendor in southern France. |
