About the authors

M. D. Henry Porter

A little-known Victorian doctor-writer, this coauthor of Cups and Their Customs helped turn a niche subject into an entertaining mix of social history and practical recipes. The book reflects a lively interest in drinking customs, communal hospitality, and the pleasures of well-made mixed drinks.
