Slurp: Drinks and Light Fare, All Day, All Night

Thirsty? Happy Slurping!

Whether your tastes run to carrot and ginger juice, Captain Nemos, or blueberry and mint coolers, Slurp: Drinks and Light Fare, All Day, All Night (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $16.99) offers the best quenchers around and delicious dishes to eat with them.

This splashy book by Nina Dreyer Hensley, Jim Hensley, and Paul Løwe includes more than 100 recipes for drinks and food presented by the time of day they would best be served. Alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are included, along with recipes for tasty appetizer pairings and tips on entertaining. And, last but not least, hangover remedies provide help for the day after.

A sampling:

• Morning: Watermelon, Lime, & Lemongrass Juice paired with French Toast with Banana & Passion Fruit (pages 25 & 49)
• Daytime: Mint Daze with Chicken & Grapefruit Salad and Yogurt Dressing (pages 83 & 95)
• Evening: A Flirtini alongside Shrimp with Coriander and Lime (pages 140 & 150)
