Product description

Amazon Review

What has happened to beer? It used to be just beer. Blokes swilled it. Not any more, if Susan Nowak's excellent The Beer Cookbook is anything to go by. Beer has fallen into the hands of the connoisseurs and as a result it has acquired unsuspected qualities, the sorts of things wines have, like noses and finishes. The number of styles of beer is considerable, and growing: pilsners, porters, ales and stouts, fruit and heather beers, Trappist beers and barley wine ... They vary as widely, if not more so, than wines in flavour, strength, weight and colour. It was only a matter of time before a survey such as this appeared. Beer cookery has come a long way from the handful of butch stews it used to be restricted to. Or rather, as Susan Nowak points out, it has regained the intimate connection it used to have with food and eating in Britain until the rise of the drinking house drove a wedge between brewhouse and kitchen.

The Beer Cookbook covers an amazing range, both of beers and recipes: Starters, Soups, Fish, Poultry and Game, Meat--all the way through to Puddings (yes, beer puddings). Beers appear triumphantly in sauces for meat and fish, in marinades, in casseroles and stews, in stir fries, in savoury jellies, in frying batter, as a rich, caramelised syrup to poach pears in, in tarts, trifles and ice creams. The recipes are by turns sophisticated and hearty, many of them collected from cooks who also run pubs or breweries. This is a really exciting book, offering something of a revelation to anyone whose view of the real ale and craft brewing movement is of a bunch of beer bores banging on about legendary poisons with names like Old Hogwhimperer. --Robin Davidson

The Beer Cook Book

Bit too esoteric for me but contains some stuff worth trying - mind your the toffee apple recipe promised much but didn't work - adding beer to the suger just seems to prevent it caramelising. Not sure how easy it is to get the exact beers suggested but will be fun trying alternatives!

I somehow expected more from this - I dunno why - but its good, really good! - So perhaps I just wanted more and more of the same

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2009

As a Pub chef i need new ideas that are slightly off the wall, maybe old fashioned and some creative and fresh. this book has provided some excellent alternatives to cooking with meat or, vegetables but with an alcoholic twist.

The Beer Cookbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2012

This was purchased as a used book. It is obviously used, has a musty smell and yellowing pages. Besides from that it is useable, but because of the musty smell I am disappointed with the purchase.
