At the blue hour, when the day relaxes into evening, breathing deeply before a long night, we experience a magic moment: the workday finally done, it is time for drinks and little delicacies! Around the world, people meet for a sundowner at bars and cafes. Bar food is often deeply entwined in culinary and cultural tradition and many of the new food trends that are now taking the world by storm started at modest serving counters. We follow the sunset once around the globe - from Samoa, where the sun sets first, via Australia, Japan, India, Europe, Morocco and Brazil to the USA and Mexico - experiencing the blue hour with Italian cicchetti, Spanish tapas, Greek mezes, and with tacos, tortillas and ceviche. The result is a nice little treat, served up with lots of music: simple, relaxing and enjoyable. A cookbook for when you feel like getting away, filled with colourful stories, with great ideas for friends and guests, parties and get-togethers. Elegant and laid back.
