Product Description
In The Best of American Beer and Food Lucy Saunders covers both pairing food and beer and cooking with beer. She begins by exploring the art of pairing flavorful beers with specific foods, considering today's wide range of beer styles and the foods and flavors that they compliment from salad through dessert. She then turns to recipes that incorporate beer, using the diverse tastes available from today's ales and lagers as flavor components.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Primer   May 5, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Lucy Saunders has looked far and wide to find a delightful array of explorations of how beer can enhance your enjoyment of food. Craft brewers and adventurous chefs across America are bringing beer to the table with delicious and suprising results. This book will change the way you think about that wonderful, inexpensive beverage, beer.


5 out of 5 stars A great pairing indeed!   April 15, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I LOVE this book! Written by an author who actually knows her subject-and seeks out some of the foremost craft brewers across America-Lucy Saunders has done beer lovers and foodies a tremendous service by traveling across the country seeking out the best brewers and recipes.
Whether you're a novice or accomplished foodie or brewhead you'll enjoy this book.
You'll especially enjoy the regional introductory information, where she interviews regional brewmasters.
Imagine learning all about pairing beer with food by matching beer with cheese or chocolate! Then, Saunders takes you on a gastronomic and zymurgological journey across the USA.
The photography is stunning, the writing-like a great ale is clean, crisp and down to earth.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys either food or beer or both!

1 out of 5 stars Very average, liken it to a big commercial brew!   March 19, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Unfortunately the information supplied is very weak. The origins of beer style and history would have been nice.
The recipes are very samey and un-appetizing.
There is sooo much to beer and the current surge in craft brewing popularity and this book only gives it a cursary glance at best.

Do yourself a favour and go out the purchase the fabulous "the Brewmaster's Table" this is truely an inspiring piece of publishing!


5 out of 5 stars Makes your tongue juice up with anticipation   January 20, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This beautiful, soft-covered book is fit for the great-room coffee table, but lives with even greater panache in the kitchen. Saunders traces the specialties of craft beer and food within each section of American continent: from the chocolate beer dinners of Chef Bruce Paton at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco, California, to "A Day at the Beach" menus with Alaskan Amber-glazed grilled salmon in the Alaskan Northwest or the Belgian Beer Dinners at Monk's Café in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She seems to single out every great name associated with craft beer and food: Tom Peters and Chef Adam Glickman, Curt Decker, Garrett Oliver, Carol Stoudt, American Bounty Chef Anita Olivarez Eisenhauer, Dave Alexander, Pastry Chef Crystal Duck, Pam and Bob Cooper, Cheesemaker Willi Lehner, Chuck Skypeck, Brewchef Tim Schafer, Larry Bell, Rob Tod, Natalie and Vinnie Cirluzo, Gina and Vince Marsaglia, Shaun O' Sullivan, Dan Gordon and Dean Biersch, Chef Jody Denton, Lisa Morrison, Charles and Rose Ann Finkel, Greg Higgins, Jim Koch, Tomme Arthur, Ben Johnson - and scores of others. As you become more deeply aware of the hold beer has taken within the cooking community throughout North America, your blood begins to surge with anticipation. What might your own abilities be in the culinary arena? What could you do with a little knowledge of craft beer and your own local food styles?

In Part II of "The Best of American Beer & Food," Saunders presents an array of recipes for the casual party or the more formal dining theme. Although beer is included as an ingredient in some recipes, others are beer-free, but are accompanied with a "Beer Pairing Suggestion" that easily stands out for your reference. Bacon-Wrapped Bluefish with Brown Ale Hot Sauce, Spicy Steamed Mussels, and Shallot and Stout-Glazed Steak with Cumin-Pepper Onions will activate your palate, while Harpoon Winter Warmer-Spiced Pumpkin and Cranberry Bread, Barley Wine Banana Split, or Paxton's Chocolate Stout Pudding finish on the sweet end.

The Best of American Beer & Food is loaded with full-page color photos that make your tongue juice-up with anticipation. As you focus on each recipe, your mind can easily formulate the workings of your own holiday beer dinner - making yours the most memorable highlight of the season. Lucy Saunders gives you the secret ingredients that merge food with craft beer in the best possible way.



5 out of 5 stars Great cookbook with more than just recipes   December 10, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Beyond your normal cookbook, as this book uses beer as an ingredient in a lot of the recipes. Wonderful information on pairing, beers and breweries from different regions all over the US, great recipes, nice photography and other useful information. This has to be Lucy's best book to date! If you liked to cook and enjoy a fermented beverage, I would highly recommend this book!
