10. Featured Cookbook: Lush Life: Portraits from the Bar
Jill DeGroff
December 2009
Mud Puddle Books, New York
Steeped soundly in the culture of the American cocktail scene-now entering the 21st century with a mixed roster of talented, wisecracking, colorful cocktailians-Lush Life is a veritable labor of love, nor simply for being a byproduct of husband and wife Dale and Jill DeGroff's LA-born romance. The love here is for the people of the cocktail world, and it's sketched, brushed, and suffused into each of Jill DeGroff's pictures. And while the book is laid out generationally, Lush Life essentially unites its subjects under the proud patchwork banner of the bartender. A pictorial tour of the beating heart of the American cocktail scene, Lush Life recalls the old-school cool of Al Hirschfeld's "Speakeasies of 1932," updated with its tech-savvy cast of mixologist up-and-comers and standby old-timers-all of it colored by DeGroff's inimitable aesthetic eye. Lest she leave her reader thirsty, DeGroff includes recipes for favorite and famous drinks, as well as tales from behind the bar and occasional odd remembrances. In the end the whole experience is akin to an evening spent among friends, leaning up against the polished wood of a favorite local bar.
