Little Book of Drinks: Juices, Smoothies and Cocktails for Work, Rest
and Play
A
juicing book with a difference, which tells you how to make fresh and
delicious drinks whether you've just got to work, are sitting on the
couch on a Sunday afternoon or want to impress your friends by making
bright green Martinis. In 1999, Rich, Jon and Adam tested out their
juices on the public at a little jazz festival. When their customers
unanimously voted they should go into business, "innocent ltd"
(ltd stands for "little tasty drinks") was born. They are
now the producers of the nation's favourite smoothies (according to
the BBC, "The Times" and others). This book doesn't assume
that you've juiced before, and contains tips on equipment, how to choose
and store your fruit and veg and the science behind why juice is good
for you. The book was written with the help of Professor Joe Millward,
Director of the Centre for Food Safety and Nutrition. And while it also
provides extensive nutritional information on the benefits of eating
plenty of fruit and veg, it won't bore you with facts and figures and
it won't urge you to go on a 3-week juice fast. The easy-to-follow recipes
are tailored to people's lives. Divided into three sections - work,
rest and play - the book features recipes which will prevent you from
stapling your fingers together, drinks to pamper and comfort, and healthy
cocktails to make you tipsy without giving you a hangover. Along the
way the book answers questions on such things as seasonal ingredients,
alcohol, organic produce, bio yoghurt and all fruit and veg imaginable.
