Cooking with Beer 3.21.23

More than just a beverage, beer is a delicious seasoning addition to any recipe.

Wonderfully rich and robust, craft beer is the secret ingredient you’ll want to know about.

Chef/Cooking Instructor Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast is ready to show you how to incorporate it into recipes. This delicious online cook-a-long class is March 21 at 2 pm.

When cooking with beer, the alcohol evaporates during cooking, leaving only the enticing flavors behind. Marinating with beer tenderizes meat, fish, or seafood. In roasted meats, soups, and sauces, beer creates a rich, dark color and flavor. As a baking liquid, beer adds a lightness and cakes and a variety of homemade breads. Liz Barbour is ready to show you how to make these wonderful recipes in your own kitchen: IPA Cheddar Soup and Double Chocolate Cake with Russian Imperial Stout.
