Book Reviews of Mix Shake Stir: Recipes from Danny Meyer's Acclaimed New York City Restaurants
Book Review: An Easy & Elegant Downtown Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit, I purchased this book for $5.00 at Marshall's. When I got home, I spent about and hour "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing over the creative yet accessible cocktail combinations for--literally--ANY time of year and ANY time of crowd! A few of my favorite recipes include the Heirloom Bloody Mary and the Cucumber Caipirosk. The book is organized in the following categories:
-favorite classics
-new classics
-inspired flavors
-elegant sips
-casual libations
-bar fare
-recipes and references
A few things in this book stood out: unlike some cocktail books, this one had detailed close-up photos of nearly all the drinks. A lot of recipes incorporated herbs and edible flowers, yet did not use so many different kinds as to overwhelm or bankrupt the at-home mixologist. The same goes for liquor--a standard at-home bar would have the basics, save maybe the elderflower liquor (which I bought and adored). The bar fare recipes turned this text from a recipe book to a true entertaining manual with the recipes for black truffled popcorn and red snapper ceviche. For those that want to further expand their palette and culinary skills, a very helpful and inventive reference section tells you how to make infused simple syrups, salts and sugar rims, fruit purees and garnishes.
Unlike most books out there, this one is accessible to those new to mixed drinks, those that want to try something new, and will delightfully surprise the know-it-all!
