Cider, Hard and Sweet, Cookbook of the DayPosted Dec 23rd 2006 8:03AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Books, Fall Flavors, Cookbook of the DayHot chocolate, eggnog and even gingerbread lattes are all wonderful winter options, but there isn't anything quite like apple cider to warm you up. The smell of apples and spice really is the scent of the season. Cider, Hard and Sweet: History, Traditions, and Making Your Own is a great reference for all things cider-related. It has a detailed history of cider and cider-making, as well as information about the types of apples that make the best cider and exactly how to do it yourself. The author is very enthusiastic about his subject and is an engaging writer, so a casual reader will get a good overview while someone who is really intent on studying the subject will take away a good deal of knowledge. Sweet cider and fermented "hard" cider are covered in depth, but one feature that seems to be unique to this book is the chapter spent on Tasting and Evaluating Cider, which provides some insights into quality that you won't find anywhere else.
