The Art of Calvados


The Art of Calvados: A Journey into the Heart of Normandy, with Over 50 Recipes for
Cocktails and Cuisine, by Christian Drouin, is now available in English for the first time
from White Mule Press.

 

Drouin, a second-generation Calvados producer, unveils the many secrets of the iconic Norman apple brandy. From the Middle Ages to the Second World War to Paris’ finest modern cocktail bars, Drouin traces the history, culture, and stories of one of the world’s most sustainable spirits. A detailed account of how Calvados is produced will fascinate those with a special interest in distilled spirits and French cuisine, while the history of its role in the social, political, culinary and economic life of northern France will interest history buffs.


Drouin devotes particular attention to the various modes of consumption, from the
traditional café-calva and trou Normand to classic and modern cocktails. More than 40
cocktail recipes sourced from the world’s best bartenders provide endless inspiration for
mixing and experimentation, and nearly a dozen easy-to-prepare recipes for dishes
featuring Calvados evoke the grand culinary tradition of Normandy.
