"There are three natural intoxicating beverages as old as man: wine, beer, and cider." Thus Vrest Orton begins this highly entertaining book about apple cider. In a single volume, Mr. Orton captures the history, customs, and folklore surrounding America's most natural drink and the best techniques for making it today. The book's one hundred twenty delightful recipes demonstrate the versatile and historic uses of cider in punches, nogs, and nightcaps, as well as countless cider family favorites, ranging from buckwheat muffins to basted game and dried apple pie. Mr. Orton reminds us that apple cider is a wholly American invention, once as valuable to American cooking as wine is to French cuisine.

Since its original publication in 1969 by Yankee, Inc.,Vrest Orton's classic book on fireplace design has gone through numerous printings and has brought about a revival of the Rumford fireplace. The basic principles that Count Rumford set forth in 1795 describe the construction of a large shallow fireplace which does not smoke and which throws out much more heat than many of today's fireplaces which send too much of the heat up the chimney. This new edition contains some practical notes by Wally Leeds, a mason in Tunbridge,Vermont who builds Rumford fireplaces today.
