Slow Drinks

Slow Drinks by Danny Childs is a hardcover foraging and fermenting cookbook that turns wild ingredients into sodas, syrups, wines, beers and amari. The deep forest-green cover, set with a photograph of an elderflower-crowned glass glowing amber against dark foliage, makes it as good to look at as it is to cook from.

Organised by season, this botanical drinks book invites you to walk, garden and forage with intent, then bring the harvest home to ferment, infuse and pickle. Recipes run from Dandelion Mead to Spruce Beer, with the essential techniques laid out for home cooks, mixologists, homebrewers and foragers alike. Stunning photography and colour illustrations make it a practical field guide and a coffee-table conversation piece in equal measure.

Leave it open on a kitchen island beside the ferment jars, stack it on a living room coffee table with other botanical titles, or gift it to anyone drawn to slow living and natural mixology.
