How Much Alcohol Is In Strawberry Daiquiri

Beer ... liquid poetry

Beer ... liquid poetry. A manual of cervesiáfilos Steve Huxley, is just that a piece of manual for brewers. Basically a manual for making beer, but that includes every detail, from grinding the malt, or even germinate until fermentation methods, through the preparation and properties of water, hops and how to use, style, and taste , to be seen and the source of all scents, etc., etc. Very complete and interesting, but can be scary as much information blow if you're starting beer, but is grateful to have it all together and well explained by someone who not only understands but loves beer. The author is an Englishman who has over 30 years in these parts, and always busy with the beer, so the book is written directly in Castilian, and that already speaks of merit and of their intention to proselytize. And that can be proud that their actions and his book are no doubt to many one of the pillars on which the current boiling craft and micro breweries which are popping Catalunya. Very interested book yes, but you have that good physical gene, and not only complies with drinking, also wants to know the what and the how. Good book though difficult to find, and appears almost as discontinued.

The Art of Eating

On Saturday afternoon we went through the Menjar L'Art or the Art of Eating , the show can be seen in the Pedrera these days and worth to spend for it. Play a song as the relationship between art and food, which in itself is already a matter infinite, but the expo is not bad offset and is very interesting, starting with still life still lifes and sixteenth century and ending as it could not be otherwise with Ferran Adrià, focusing on collaborations that different artists have had with him. There are interesting things like eat art, examples of Dali, Picasso, Juan Gris, Barcelo, who could not miss, and things more or less fun and some even something disgusting. Not bad.

Another thought would be that Ferrà apart really is a genius in the kitchen, revolutionary, visionary, and further open to many proposals. The problem comes in how to interpret the figure, if it is done so that there is nothing else to do, which is only him, there is nothing more, and if something is just by imitation, it goes badly, and is a endemic in this country. Better would be to take note, and imitate the basics, ie the search for new horizons, because if not smell a stalemate that could last for years and years, and that would not be good. Ferrà Adrià yes, but it has more and who has other focuses on doing things, too. Anyway, very thought of what the exposure.
