This volume from the Paris bar Cravan brings together a selection of cocktails and small plates that reflect its distinctive approach to drinking and dining. Founded by Franck Audo ux in 2019 in the 16th arrondissement, and later expanded into a multi-level space on the Left Bank, Cravan has established itself as a destination for carefully made, understated cocktails. The book includes several dozen recipes, ranging from reworked classics such as the Tom Collins and French 75 to house creations like the Tunnel, the Archi, and the Lady from Shanghai. Practical notes on technique and preparation make the drinks accessible to the home bartender. Alongside the cocktails are a series of small dishes developed by both established chefs and younger collaborators, reflecting the bar’s broader interest in food as part of the experience. With its blend of recipes and context, the book offers a portrait of a contemporary Parisian bar shaped by both tradition and reinvention. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout. Show more
