Forget the pretentious brouhaha that goes along with spirited cooking. It's plain and simple: Food is good, but beer makes it better. And if readers are more used to cracking open a beer than a cookbook - this one's for them. This collection shows just how fun cooking can be when you use the right ingredient, with simple yet delicious recipes like: Spicy Beer-boiled Shrimp; Peas and Proscuitto (and Pabst); Beer and Bleu Cheese Burgers; Pub Pork Chops; and, Porter Streusel. Armed with a six-pack and an appetite, the serious drinker but occasional cook will truly appreciate "Beer: A Cookbook".
