Cyrus and myself tagged along to the Food Show yesterday. The exhibitors were a bit meh; but we did go along to two of the food presentations. The first of them, was Ray McVinnie, which was okay. The second, was Hayden Wood, making cocktails; that was much, much better.

In any case, we bought his second book, the liquid kitchen – party drinks (signed, no less. Albeit to Syrus and Christine; but no matter). It’s more of the same kinds of things from his first book; without much in the way of overlap.

His website, at http://www.theliquidkitchen.com has a few cocktail recipes and other such bits and pieces on it. One of the drinks which is there at the moment, is Monaco iced tea. We haven’t made that particular drink; but the candy apple syrup that goes into it is delicious.
