Miscellaneous A Sip Through Time by Cindy Renfrow $20 / Self-Published / 1994 If you would like your historical cup to truly runneth over, then few books will be as useful to you as A Sip Through Time: A Collection of Old Brewing Recipes, a comprehensive collection of recipes for more than 400 beverages. A Sip Through Time includes scores of recipes for beer, wine, and cider, ale, mead, and perry, and many obscure drinks such as metheglin, hypocras, and hydromel. Recipes are grouped by type (e.g., Ales and Beers), and ordered from earliest to most recent. The book is an ample, 335-page softback volume, and is illustrated with nearly 100 b&w drawings, many of them from medieval woodcuts or texts. This book is also well-indexed, and includes a glossary of terms without which many of the recipes would be incomprehensible to the layman and an appendix of herbs and fruits. All in all, A Sip Through Time is a useful, entertaining work that is sure to please those who wish to brew potent potables from the past, as well as those who simply like to imbibe them. --Capt. Mikal Warchola of Carpathia
