PHILOSOPHY OF CIDER (HB)

The story of apple-growing and cider-making stretches from the foothills of the Tien Shan mountains, to the Norman invasion, to the colonists of America and into modern times. In this book, discover the traditional orchards and processes of craft cider-makers; the folk traditions of the British Wassail and Txotx celebrations of the Basque Country; and the ethos of the Slow Food Movement. In addition to explaining cider’s links to champagne and the renaissance of cider- and perry-making, the author provides tasting tips and food pairings to help any cider drinker.
