An Appetite for Ale by Fiona & Will Beckett

An Appetite for Ale: Hundreds of Delicious Ways to Enjoy Beer with Food
An Appetite for Ale: Hundreds of Delicious Ways to Enjoy Beer with Food by Fiona Beckett
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I thought this book was aimed at people who wanted to use beer in their cooking. There are a few recipes that tell you how to do that alongside other beverages as well. But a lot of the content is devoted to flavours to compliment the beer. A lot of ingredients are involved which requires a good food knowledge and some of them aren’t necessarily available in the local supermarket. Some of the recipes also require a fully stocked kitchen with many devices, as well as a good knowledge of preparation techniques that you might have to seek out elsewhere. They also take time and that little bit of extra effort to get the best flavours. The photos do look appetising, and there’s a large range of foods to try to suit many palettes. A style of beer is suggested, but it’s your job to try the perfect match. I will get round to trying one out one day, probably starting with the Barm brack.
