Beer Cookbook

[BobtheBrewer]

Hi Bob,

I would have thought (def not an expert on celiac disease) the gluten in beer (from barley) would have been more of an issue than yeast. IF you use a commercial beer your yeast content will be very minimal. However for you're daughter you would probably be best using gluten free beer (sorry if i'm stating the obvious!)

Cheers SJ

BTW beer can chicken is delicious!!!!

Thanks for that SJ, neither of us thought of that, duh! She hasn't had a beer for years, maybe she forgot why.

Merc,

Bought the book today and can't wait to give some of those recipes a go. I was telling my daughter, a celiac, about the beer can chicken. She asked whether, cooking with beer, yeast in the beer would pass into the chicken and if so in what quantity. I would presume nil to negligible but can you enlighten me further? Thanks,

Bob

I would have to be a chemist or scientist to answer your question with any semblance of understanding, truth or knowledge - I have no idea! However depending on the beer you use - pasturised or not etc maybe or maybe not.

As Supra Jim said if you are concerned for her use a gluten free beer or a pilsner/lager - dont use a Hefeweizen!

I actually really like good maple syrup and use it quite a bit - my publisher wanted me to use Golden Syrup as that is the tradition but I wanted to make the recipe a little different to the norm. Really comes down to personal taste.

I made the lamb stout shanks. I didn't have your ingredients listed so i substituted things for what i had

Pilsner ain't no good for coeliacs either

Anyone in the automotive trade should have a look for their December issue of Australian Automotive.
Murdoch Publishing have given us three of Pauls Cooking With Beer books to give away. The details of the competition are on page 77, on my Sommelier page.
Paul said he should be able to personally sign them before I send them off. So it is a great prize. :icon_cheers:

It should have arrived in the mail this week. If you havent seen it, ask your boss or office girl about it. We will need your email by Monday night.

Good on you for sticking to your guns Paul, not often a Publisher will listen to the Author.

Made the lamb curry last night with some 'artistic' licence (dried tumeric instead of fresh, fresh lemongrass instead of dried). The hardest part was pouring a bottle of La Chouffe into the saucepan without drinking it before it went in. Was a sensational curry, one of the best I've made - thanks Paul!

Received news today the publisher has done a deal with distributor in Canada - so Cooking with Beer will launch in Canada in April this year!!! Very cool! Lots of great craft beer being made all over Canada so hopefully it will sell well.
