From Publishers Weekly
Emphasizing beer-as-pairing rather than beer-as-ingredient, this cook book offers something for virtually everyone, even if they don't enjoy a frosty lager. Classic beer-alongs like burgers, chili, chicken-fried steak and pigs in a blanket make an appearance, but otherwise, the folks at Sunset take a global approach, including classic European brasserie fare like mussels with pomme frites (make that pommes oven-frites), Argentinian chimicurri-laced steak and a Mediterranean-inspired Chicken Stew with Olives and Lemon. Though Crisp Roast Duck rests atop cabbage cooked with cherries and Michelob Amber Bock, grilled lobster tails are basted with a symphonic Budweiser-butter reduction laced with vanilla, and a luscious gingerbread cake gets a kick from the addition of stout, beer-free recipes are the rule rather than the exception. Hearty, non-alcoholic favorites include Leek and Chanterelle Tart, Rigatoni with Green Olive-Almond pesto and Roadhouse Steaks with Ancho Chile Rub, as well as a full range of desserts. Complemented with a guide to pairing beer with everything from cheese to chocolate as well as the dishes in the book, this is a must-have for fans of beer and pub fare.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Anheuser-Busch Cookbook: Great Food, Great Beer (Paperback) To be honest I have not actually used a recipe from the book yet. It was a gift for my son. We both looked it over and are very impressed with the quality of the book. I am a very experienced cook, my Mom used to read recipes to me when I was growing up, so I can recognize some good ones. These recipes are very good even for my son who is a novice. The fact that they all use beer or are paired with beer makes him want to try them and his buddies are interested too. Great photos!
