Party Like a President: True Tales of Inebriation, Lechery, and Mischief From the Oval Office
by Brian Abrams John MathiasThere’s the office: President of the United States. And then there’s the man in the office—prone to temptation and looking to unwind after a long day running the country. Celebrating the decidedly less distinguished side of the nation’s leaders, humor writer Brian Abrams offers a compelling, hilarious, and true American history on the rocks—a Washington-to-Obama, vice-by-vice chronicle of how the presidents like to party. From explicit love letters to slurred speeches to nude swims at Bing Crosby’s house, reputations are ruined and secrets bared. George Washington brokered the end of the? American Revolution over glasses of Madeira. Ulysses S. Grant rarely drew a sober breath when he was leading the North to victory. And it wasn’t all liquor. Some presidents preferred their drugs—Nixon was a pill-popper. And others chased women instead—both ?the professorial Woodrow Wilson (who signed his love letters “Tiger”) and the good ol’ boy Bill Clinton, though neither could hold a candle to Kennedy, who also received the infamous Dr. Feelgood’s “vitamin” injections of pure amphetamine. Illustrated throughout with infographics (James Garfield’s attempts at circumnavigating the temperance movement), comic strips (George Bush Sr.’s infamous televised vomiting incident), caricatures, and fake archival documents, the book has the smart, funny feel of Mad magazine meets The Colbert Report. Plus, it includes recipes for 44 cocktails inspired by each chapter’s partier-in-chief.

París gourmet (Flash Ensayo #Volumen)
by Pau ArenósUna crónica de tres deliciosas experiencias culinarias en París, de la mano del prestigioso crítico gastronómico Pau Arenós. El periodista y escritor Pau Arenós nos narra tres encuentros con París, o mejor dicho, con su élite culinaria, siempre desde una perspectiva íntima, realista y con humor, más allá de lo pretenciosas que pueden ser las crónicas de la alta gastronomía francesa. El primer capítulo consiste en su experiencia compartiendo mesa con el legendario chef francés Alain Senderens, padre de la nouvelle cuisine, quien se confiesa harto del presuntuoso sistema de estrellas Michelin. El segundo capítulo relata la vuelta de Arenós a París un año más tarde, y se centra en la bistronomía, los sans-culottes, y los nuevos (y poco) revolucionarios cocineros. De postre, Arenós comparte su vivencia (o su viaje transformador) en el restaurante de Pierre Gagnaire, uno de los cocineros franceses más destacados con establecimientos en medio París. Gagnaire, como quizá la mejor cocina, no se rige solo por reglas y exactitud, sino que permite que reinen en ella la anarquía, la intuición, la espontaneidad y el caos.
