¿SABES QUÉ CONTIENE LO QUE TE ESTÁS BEBIENDO? «Una fabulosa guía de conocimientos botánicos para los amantes de los cócteles.» --Kirkus Reviews El sake nació del grano del arroz, el whisky escocés surgió de la cebada, el tequila del agave, el ron de la caña de azúcar, el bourbon del maíz... Amy Stewart explora aquí la vertiginosa variedad de hierbas, flores, árboles, frutas y hongos que los seres humanos, gracias al ingenio, la inspiración o la desesperación, han logrado transformar en alcohol. De todas las plantas extraordinarias y misteriosas que se han fermentado y destilado, algunas son peligrosas, otras son absolutamente sorprendentes y una es tan antigua como los dinosaurios, pero todas han contribuido de una forma definitiva a nuestras tradiciones y nuestra historia. Con más de cincuenta recetas de bebidas y consejos de cultivo para amantes de la jardinería, esta obra, fascinante mezcla de biología, química, historia y coctelería, es el invitado imprescindible en cualquier reunión social o familiar, donde no faltan las mejores recetas para preparar los cócteles más especiales, desde un Margarita clásico hasta un Manhattan, un Cóctel de vermut, un Café irlandés de Buena Vista o un Negroni, entre muchos otros. Considerado uno de los libros más destacados de no ficción del año 2013, traducido a numerosos idiomas y galardonado con varios premios, Botánica para cócteles, ahora en un formato más manejable, se ha convertido, una década después de su publicación original, en un long-seller que no ha dejado de suscitar admiración y ganar nuevos lectores en todo el mundo.

Índice, 387 ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The New York Times-bestselling guide to botany and booze celebrates its 10th anniversary with an updated edition--now including a guide to planting your very own cocktail garden to go with more than fifty drink recipes. This fascinating, go-to text about the plants that make our drinks is the ideal gift book for every cocktail aficionado, the perfect drinks book for every plant-lover. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries. Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs--but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history. This charming concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology--with delightful drawings, tasty cocktail recipes, and fun factoids throughout--will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party. "A book that makes familiar drinks seem new again . . . Through this horticultural lens, a mixed drink becomes a cornucopia of plants."--NPR's Morning Edition "Amy Stewart has a way of making gardening seem exciting, even a little dangerous." --The New York Times

Though a bit lightweight, seems quite well made.
Color: White, Size: King
This duvet looks exactly as shown on the Amazon website. I bought the white/white color and it looks and feels very fresh and fluffy, quite lovely. It appears to be well made with a pretty stitched design. It feels soft and comforting. Though it is not overly thick, my intention is not to use it with a duvet cover but to tuck it between a sheet and thermal blanket with a wool blanket on top. It should function well as insulation on a cold night but also be comfortable on cooling autumn nights without the added wool blanket. I believe it will be very easy to use to use this way, rather than with the hassle of a duvet cover. Also, it will transition well from fall into winter.
I know that it is machine washable. But as I own a HE washer, I do plan to launder it at the laundromat in a larger machine. It so fully covers my king sized bed that I fear it might overwhelm the HE washer. But I do like the generous size.
I am so glad to have found this duvet at a great price. It was absolutely a value.

Quality Comfort
Color: White, Size: King
I think this is the perfect weight. I am a “hot” sleeper and I slept comfortably all night. I was really surprised at the quality of this product at the price I paid. I did not wash it before use because I put a duvet cover on it but the quilted, baffled construction should stand up well to washing as shifting of the fill should be limited. Overall an excellent choice.
