The Beer Kitchen
January 30, 2019 by JennyConfession time. I do not like beer or wine. I know I am in the minority here, but they just aren’t my beverages of choice. I’ve tried. My husband always tells me “you can work to acquire a taste for it” to which I reply, “I could work to acquire a taste for cauliflower, but I don’t think beer and wine are a priority for me.” That being said, I love to cook with both. Sounds crazy right? I love the flavor of beer in soups, roasts and even bread so I was super excited to dive into Melissa Cole’s The Beer Kitchen: The Art and Science of Cooking, & Pairing, with Beer.
Melissa is a beer goddess. She has authored two previous titles
The Little Book of Craft Beer and Let Me Tell You
About Beer. She is an award-winning writer and is considered
the UK’s foremost expert on beer and food. The
Beer Kitchen shares over 70 recipes from fondue to fried
chicken. Right now, I am in a huge vinegar phase (that has lasted
for years) and I am going to make the Beer vinegar soon to be
followed by the Fabulous fried chicken. The Beer cheese soup is
begging to be made for Super Bowl this weekend. That’s it fried
chicken and beer cheese soup, menu planned.
The photography throughout this book is spectacular and Melissa’s
knowledge from choosing the right beer for the job to dos and
don’ts while cooking with the beverage is immensely valuable.
I love everything about this title – the range of recipes, the beer
education and the photography – it is an incredible book!
