Beer (c)2011 LaDomestique.com

This past week at la Domestique was dedicated to cooking with beer, from pale lagers to black stouts. We explored all the unique flavors beer contributes to soups, braises, breads, and even cakes. Beer can be hoppy, bitter, fruity, herbal, sweet, or rich, among other flavors. It adds body and bite to autumn stews. We learned what flavors pair best with beer and found plenty of great ideas for cooking with beer.

In case you missed anything, I’ve got a recap:

 

Monday:  Announcing beer as ingredient of the week.

Tuesday: 10 Ways Tuesday! Creative ideas for cooking with beer in autumn.

Wednesday: Cook in the moment with a recipe for Shellfish in German Beer Broth.

Thursday: The story behind beer- how it’s made, cooking with beer & flavor pairing.

Friday:  Baking with beer- Anise & Guinness Bread recipe.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!
