Lovely Pub Cookbook
11 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover
It's not often you find a cookbook that is both beautiful and full of useful recipes, but An Appetite for Ale fits the criteria to a T. The table of contents reads like a British Pub menu, including favorites such as Steak and Ale Pie, Cottage Pie with Porter, and (Cheat's) Chicken Korma. Each food item is paired with a recommended beer, and many recipes include beer in the actual cooking. All of the recipes are clearly explained with easy-to-find-ingredients and an emphasis on quality and convenience over complicated technique. Warning to the State-Side: all ingredients are given in British measurement, and some of the beers mentioned *coughInnis&Gunncough* are not easily found over here. However, if its been ages since you've had smoked fish pie or a ploughman's the small conversions necessary are worth it.
