Hitchcocktails

“The book is much more than just recipes. Packed with movie stills, anecdotes and fun facts, you’ll no doubt learn something you didn’t know about the impish director and come away with a new appreciation for his work.” * Splash magazines *
Each drink is, in my opinion, perfectly paired with its movie, highlighting the motifs without giving away any spoilers. I was genuinely surprised by how much I learned about Hitchcock’s filmmaking over the course of this volume. As someone who’s only passingly familiar with his body of work – and that primarily through cultural osmosis – I was deeply impressed with how Mr. Maslon displays its range. – Doreen Sheridan * Criminal Element *
