Description
Ron Cooper's journey with mezcal began in 1990, when he discovered the traditional spirit while collaborating with craftspeople in Mexico. This chance encounter led to the founding of Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal and the popularization of the spirit in the United States. In "Finding Mezcal", Cooper shares his passion for this culturally rich and now hugely in-demand spirit, along with 40 recipes developed by chefs and bartenders from around the world. The book delves into the history of mezcal production methods and the botany of the maguey plant, from which it is distilled. Copiously illustrated with photographs, as well as Cooper's artwork and that of his friend Ken Price, who illustrated Del Maguey's iconic labels, "Finding Mezcal" offers a unique insight into the world of mezcal.
