Alcohol-Infused Recipes

Cooking with booze is a flavorsome way to add a splash of taste, depth, and originality to your recipes. Regardless of whether it's pale ale, gin, brandy or Prosecco, using alcohol in your cooking can act as a flavor boost. It's perfect for tenderizing meat and poultry in marinades and ideal for concentrating flavor when simmered down into stews and sauces. Alcohol is also very versatile. Brandy can make bread boozy or add awesome flavor to a chestnut soup. Hard spirits like rum or vodka can give pizzazz to a pasta sauce or be the tempting topping on a cheesecake or trifle. Absinthe bewitches oysters and sorbet while gin jazzes up jam. Our 40 alcohol-infused recipes will show you how to incorporate beers, wines, and spirit into your appetizers, dips, sauces, mains, and desserts. When you buy this cookbook, you will discover that the proof really is in the pudding!
