Rum Cocktails

David Biggs

Mention rum and it conjures up visions of swaying palm trees on white sandy Caribbean beaches. There's probably a pirate sailing ship gliding past, as well. There's a good reason for this romantic tropical image. Rum is made from sugar, and is traditionally produced where cane sugar is grown, and that's in warmer, tropical climates Because of this tropical connection, rum-based cocktails often include tropical fruits or fruit juices. Pineapples, bananas and limes also play an important role in many rum cocktails. Rum Cocktails provides recipes for 33 classic and modern cocktails and mixed drinks made from rum, together with a brief look at the history and lore of the spirit and essential information on glasses, mixing, garnishing and serving. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Healthy Juices for Healthy Kids

Wendy Sweetser

Making sure you consume enough fresh fruit and vegetables is now recognised as one of the best ways of keeping in good shape and ensuring a happier, longer life. Children who enjoy a healthy, varied diet are more likely to be full of energy, suffer fewer illnesses and concentrate better at school. Children grow rapidly between the ages of five and twelve, so they need a good supply of vitamins. Encouraging good habits from an early age could have a significant effect on health throughout adolescence and in later life. However, making sure that kids drink healthily is not always easy, and good intentions can often fall by the wayside. «Healthy Juices for Healthy Kids» focuses on adding healthy drinks to your diet, rather than denying yourself the things you love. The juices, smoothies and treats in this book are about striking a balance between healthy drinking and ingredients that children enjoy. Healthy juices shouldn't mean boring drinks or denying treats, but providing a diet that is varied, good for you and delicious. The chapters cover breakfast juices and smoothies, mid-morning snacks, afternoon treats, lollies, crushes and slushes and bedtime soothers. Each recipe has a nutritional note, highlighting the benefits of a particular ingredient, and there will be useful tips and variations throughout.
