Book Description

May 15, 2008

Now beer fans everywhere can have their favorite brew and eat it too! Dating back thousands of years to ancient Babylonia, beer is the most famous and beloved thirst quencher the world has ever known. The Bible praises it, Egyptians were buried with it, our Founding Fathers depended on it, medical journals prescribe it, and Noah and the Mayflower set sail with it. Whether kegged, bottled, canned, free-flowing, or whipped into Golden Cheesecake, beer is all about friendship, laughter, and celebrating life to its fullest.

More than ten years in the making, The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook is an unprecedented collection of more than 400 food and drink recipes containing beer as a main ingredient. From scrambled eggs made with beer at breakfast and a cheese steak sandwich with onion rings or a beer burger and Chocolate Beershake for lunch, to a surf 'n' turf beer-infused combo of lobster and steak for dinner (and a midnight snack of chocolate-dipped strawberries), beer lovers can feast on brewskis at any time of the day. Every genre of food is included: appetizers, breads, soups and chili, salads, fruits and vegetables, sandwiches, sauces, marinades, beef, poultry, pork, wild game, stews, fish and seafood, pasta, and desserts.

The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook also serves as a party drinks handbook, with a comprehensive collection of recipes for mixed drinks, chuggers, shots, chasers, party punches, milkshakes, and flaming drinks -- all made with beer. From the Buzzy Navel, Beer Bullet, Red-Headed Mary, and Beertini to the Woodpecker, Atomic Diva, Garden of Eden Punch, and Flaming Sake Bomb, this anthology of beer's greatest pairings is sure to leave beer lovers spinning for joy.

With an introduction chronicling beer's history, as well as hilarious beer quotes by the world's most illustrious beer fans peppered amidst the recipes, The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook is a rousing tribute to a tasty icon more than 7,000 years in the making.

1.0 out of 5 stars A real disappointment, December 10, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Ultimate Beer Lovers Cookbook: More Than 400 Recipes That All Use Beer (Hardcover)
This book seems to be little more than a collection of newspaper recipes that only peripherally include "beer" as an ingredient. You could just as easily substitute "chicken stock" or "yellow water" and achieve the same results--an indication of the lack of effort that went into the writing of this cookbook.

Truly galling for anybody who knows anything about beer (beyond Bud, Miller, and Coors) is that there is not even the slightest effort to differentiate between styles, and anybody who knows the slightest about beer and cooking will tell you adding a pale ale to a recipe will yield wildly different results than a stout, Belgian ale, or porter.

Simply put, this book is an insult to beer advocates as well as serious cooks.

[And don't get me started on the "comprehensive collection of recipes for mixed drinks, chuggers, shots, chasers, party punches, milkshakes, and flaming drinks -- all made with beer." What an absolute travesty.]

Ignore the five-star reviews from friends and family members, publisher's shills, and reviewers who got a free book. Poor editing, chintzy production values (no photos or illustrations to speak of), and some really dubious printing quality all suggest this book was done on the cheap to exploit beer connoisseurs' desire for a decent cooking-with-beer title. Trust me, this isn't one of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoy beer, cooking, or both, avoid, August 4, 2009
By 
This review is from: The Ultimate Beer Lovers Cookbook: More Than 400 Recipes That All Use Beer (Hardcover)
As "fair deal guy BB" stated in another review, this book does not do justice to anyone who enjoys cooking, enjoys beer, and would like to be able to enhance food with beer and vice versa. I really thought that beer was beyond this - many chefs at fine restaurants have started taking beer more seriously and have given it the same considerations in their dishes and for pairing as they do wine. Mr. Schlimm is obviously not a fan of this level of appreciation of beer. The recipes include beer as an after thought, with no thought put into which style would work best with each dish. A couple of recipes indicate "light beer", but everything else is just "beer". At least the most basic recipes including wine indicate "white" or "red". Couldn't these recipes have been tested and given to us with an "ale" or "lager" determination?

In a nutshell, nearly 1/2 of these recipes involve beer only to batter and fry. Who needs a cookbook for that? Most of the remaining recipes have simply swapped beer with another liquid, such as water or broth. Nothing here screams original or makes me think that I must try it now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas in this book, June 18, 2008
This review is from: The Ultimate Beer Lovers Cookbook: More Than 400 Recipes That All Use Beer (Hardcover)
If you know about cooking and about your beer styles, you will like this book.

The recipes are somewhat vague though. In all of the recipes they just call for beer, not telling you what style would be most appropriate or recomended.

There are a lot of good recipes in all of the cooking and drinking catagories.

I recomend this book.
