Kristin and Molly speak with Danny Childs about his new beverage book, Slow Drinks; its origination, proposal stages and how the pandemic affected its creation. Danny shares his background in ethnobotany, how he altered his writing voice from academic to narrative and the process of making these recipes adaptable to non-local foraging readers. He talks about the book's photography, illustration and design process, the books that inspire him and the new business venture he is starting.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella Mentions Danny Childs / Slow Drinks InstagramThe Farm and FishermanSlow Food InternationalEdible Magazine Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showSlow Drinks by Danny ChildsMeehan's Bartender Manual by Jim MeehanThe Dead Rabbit Drinks Manual by Jack McGarry, Ben Schaffer and Sean MuldoonThe PDT Cocktail Book by Jim Meehan and Chris GallDeath & Co by David Kaplan, Alex Day and Nick FauchaldBitters by Brad Thomas ParsonsAmaro by Brad Thomas ParsonsThe Art of Fermentation by Sandor KatzWildcrafted Fermentation by Pascal BaudarThe River Cottage Preserves HandbookJerry ThomasImbibe MagazineSalt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat
