Why read it?

1 author picked The Maison Premiere Almanac as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A cocktail book from one of my favorite long-standing neighborhood Brooklyn bars.

Their appreciation of New Orleans and more importantly great food, drinks, and service is now compiled into one concise ‘almanac’ with an extraordinary section on oysters that is a must-read for any lover of these briny bivalves. I also appreciate that a fair amount of the recipes are classic in nature and fairly easy to replicate for the home user, all while explaining the origin stories of the most endearing concoctions.
