Bottom’s up for summer sippin’

The Art of Mixology: Mocktails by Parragon Books

March 27, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader 2 Comments

I present a unicorn: a specialty cookbook that has barely any hard to find ingredients and not too many single use specialty items (as in, specialty thing to acquire, but only use tiny bit in one recipe). The Art of Mixology: Mocktails is also kind of on-trend, but that’s also probably why I saw it on sale at the bulls-eye store. Before getting to the recipes there is a review of bar-tending equipment, glassware, terms/techniques, and general ingredient types. If you know your cocktails, none […]

Then I had to get it off of the general internet; ordering it from the shop online store would have cost more in shipping than the book. But I finally got Brew, Bake, Sip & Savour. I’m not super surprised, but it is almost a necessity that you either have or are pretty familiar with Bird & Blend Tea […]

A timely reminder for outdoor cooking

Grilling Vegan Style by John Schlimm

May 18, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Grilling Vegan Style is a) basic, b) more varied than I’d guess, c) mildly inspiring. I own a small charcoal grill (ground-level standard Weber) and I live in a region where grilling season is essentially March through October. I might actually want to pull that little grill out of the garage, clean it, and try out a few things. The first chapter is actually about grilling equipment, and the various options ranging from gas to charcoal to electric to stove-top to hybrids. You get general […]
