Publishers Text

It is not known who made the first aperitif and when. Whether it happened in ancient Egypt or Greece, or as the result of some medieval monk's experiment, the history of aperitifs goes far back in time. Today's aperitifs may have an active, glittering, and international image, but their complex, sometimes secret, recipes are often those devised by their creators decades ago.

This volume takes the reader on a fascinating tour that explores the different categories of aperitifs and their colorful history.

Along the way, the author touches on such varied topics as:
-- Basic production methods
-- The history and evolution of the various types
-- A directory of the world's finest branded aperitifs
-- Discussions of the most popular generic aperitifs
-- Tips on proper serving

The world of aperitifs is an exciting one. If you don't know it, this useful guide will open it up for you. If you already know it, it will enhance your enjoyment. Either way, it takes you on a memorable and fun-filled journey.
