Warm up with the magic of the North. Craft cocktails, Scandinavian-inspired food, and everything good about colder climates: In Portland, Maine, Andrew and Briana Volk welcome guests into their restaurant like it’s an extension of their home. It's here, in the James Beard-nominated Portland Hunt + Alpine Club, that they create innovative cocktails like Lunar Phases (an award-winning riff on the gin and tonic) and the Norseman (a Scandinavian old-fashioned of sorts, with aquavit). They've also perfected the classics behind the bar, from the Pimm’s Cup to hot buttered rum. After the drinks, Northern Hospitality moves on to food inspired by both Portland and Scandinavia. The bar snacks are addictive—green chile popcorn and smoked trout deviled eggs are just the beginning. Smorgasbords feature gravlax, homemade pretzels, and fresh cider pickles. On a cold northern day, Swedish meatballs with spaetzle and nutmeg cream are sure to warm you up. Or go further from the known and try the clams with absinthe and bottarga. Features on ice fishing, shucking oysters, how to build a bonfire, and après-ski provide a sense of place and an experience as unique as the club itself. With Northern Hospitality,celebrate the seasons the way those in the north do: with the warmth, fun, and a sense of wonder.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Equal parts recipe book and life philosophy, Northern Hospitality is a stunning adventure into the previously untold story of eating and drinking well in New England. This book is stylish, insightful, and unique—the perfect choice for anyone passionate about entertaining, drinks, and food. ―Alex Day, owner of Death & Company, author of Death & Company and Cocktail Codex

Hunt + Alpine has made Portland, Maine, a culinary destination, not just in drinks but also in food. From martinis to oysters to outstanding service, this beautiful book shows off just how wonderful the North (and Northerners) can be!
―Ivy Mix, co-founder of Speed Rack and owner of Leyenda (Brooklyn, NY)

I must confess I’ve never been to Maine. But when I finally make it, Andrew and Briana’s Hunt + Alpine Club will be the first bar I visit. Thanks to their gorgeous new guide to good times, I have a long wish list of what to order when I arrive.
―Jim Meehan, author of The PDT Cocktail Book and Meehan’s Bartender Manual

Let Dixie have its Juleps and fancy hats. I’ll bask in the warmth of the Volks’ bonfires, bivalves, and Hot Buttered Rum. Northern Hospitality perfectly captures the new cozy in its most unaffected—and most welcoming—form.
―Scott DeSimon, food and drink writer/editor

Beautiful Book, Perfect for Cocktail and Food Lovers

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

This beautiful book is a must have for any cocktail and/or food lover looking to expand their palette at home or learn about cocktails and Scandinavian inspired food. It also looks amazing with nice photography and layout.
There are so many great recipes in this book. Hunt + Alpine in Portland is one of my favorite bars ever and it’s great to finally know how to make my girlfriend the perfect Green Eyes (her favorite drink) at home after trying to mimic it for the last few years.
We really look forward to making the drinks and the food recipes and having our own H+A nights at home between trips to Portland.

We happen to live in Portland and get to visit Hunt + Alpine on the regular. The cocktails and food are pretty outrageous (in the best way). It's kinda awesome to go there, taste the recipes as they are meant to be made, and now, with this book, try to match them back home.
Great read, gorgeous photography, all the stars.

More cocktails than food and outlandish ingredients. Good if you’re into hunting down random stuff.

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

As someone who has never been to Maine and never made any drink more complicated than whiskey neat, this book covers the gamut of simple recipes for pickling to fancy cocktails with four ingredients I’ve never heard all, all while maintaining a welcoming, approachable, and charming coastal attitude. Already planning to gift to friends!
