Specificatii
2013 Reprint of 1939 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Charles
H. Baker, Jr., wrote five collections of recipes that are far more
than cookbooks, and impossible to classify. Baker states his chief
tenet that informs his work: that all really interesting
people-sportsman, explorers, musicians, scientists, vagabonds and
writers-were vitally interested in good things to eat and drink;
cared for exotic and intriguing ways of composing them. We soon
discovered further that this keen interest was not solely through
gluttony, the spur of hunger or merely to sustain life, but in a
spirit of high adventure. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part
instruction manual for budding bon vivants, his books and magazine
columns chronicle a life spent searching for good things to eat and
drink and the really interesting people with whom he loved to share
them. Like his contemporaries Robert Ripley and Frank Bring 'Em
Back Alive Buck, Baker traveled incessantly in search of unusual
specimens; Baker brought his quarry home scribbled on the backs of
bar napkins. In between overseas adventures, Baker fished with
Hemingway off the Bimini coast; downed flaming apple brandy in the
back room of a New Jersey inn with Bill Faulkner; joined Errol
Flynn and Robert Frost for a beachfront dinner south of Miami,
featuring four-inch steaks and potatoes boiled in pine resin-better
than any potato ever baked in mortal oven. If you ever wondered
whose oyster the world is, Esquire wrote in 1954, meet Charles H.
Baker, Jr. This book is an account of his discoveries regarding the
world of exotic drink.
