HOT DRINKS

Wow!

If you need a great idea for a gift that can be either a moderate stocking stuffer,
or built-up into a larger, fun-filled, suggestive and comprehensive gift,
here is one that we think you should consider:

HOT DRINKS: Cider, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Spiced Punch, & Spirits -
by yours' truly Bob and Mary Lou Heiss,
published for Williams-Sonoma by Ten Speed Press 2007
and available now in bookstores everywhere.

We had quite a bit of fun writing this book, and it has received more than passing interest
from numerous magazines, newspapers and food enthusiasts nationwide.
Recipes have been reprinted from it in many publications' reviews or 'winter drinks' articles, Bob travelled to New York City last November to demonstrate several of the drinks live on Martha Stewart Living Radio, and just last week it received more accolade.

For ideas about how to use it as the anchor of a gift ensemble
check out Mary Lou's blog at the link below.

If you add a bottle or two of this or that it gets even better
(and perhaps you will be invited to stay, linger and enjoy...)

Half alcoholic and half not, the recipes in HOT DRINKS are great as-is or can be adjusted to your taste or liquor preference.

Be Inspired!

Here's an example of media coverage of our book.
From the Syracuse New Times:
"Bartender John Rodriguez is warming up some classics like mulled cider with spiced rum, and experimenting with Southern-inspired hot chocolate that will involve coconut rum and peach schnapps. He’s open to your favorite hot-drink concoctions, too. “If people bring in recipes, we’ll definitely make them,” says Rodriguez, who was actually reading Hot Drinks when this reporter stopped by for lunch recently."
