Beer is a useful addition to gluten free fare. Beer helps baked goods rise, tenderizes meat, lends a deep flavour to vegan stews and gravies, and enriches chocolate-y desserts with its essence. Beer is also just plain fun to cook and bake with, it makes food better.



The recipes in Cooking and Baking with Gluten Free Beer enable you to enjoy beer round the clock, seven days a week, from breakfast through to dinner, dessert, and beyond. Whether you're looking for traditional pub-fare, like bratwurst and sauerkraut, game day snacks like pretzels and cheddar dip, Sunday morning crepes and French toast, or entrées like steamed mussels and marinated chicken, there's a little something for everyone. As a bonus, many of the recipes have vegetarian and vegan options.



Discover over 40 recipes and combinations such as:

* Muddled Meat Balls and their vegan counterpart, Tanked-Up Tofu Balls

* Rip-Roaring Rosemary Bread

* Plotzed Poor Man's Pierogi

* Borracho Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes

* Off-Your-Face Apple Fritters
