Food

When we think of beer in this country, we generally think of a pint of bitter or lager, and yet there's a diversity of styles and flavours out there to enable a regular consumer never to repeat the same experience twice. What's more these beers are classics in their own right - lovingly created by people with a passion for flavour and a zest for life. It is no coincidence, or falsehood then, that beer is a natural accompaniment - and ingredient, to all manner of foods, particularly where the produce shares the same artisan values as the beer. This book is occasion based because cooking at home is more about the event - friends, family; a sense of fun, the circumstances that surround the eating experience - than fancy towers arranged on expensive plates all that matters is that every meal becomes an enjoyable, celebratory event, however simple and quick it is, Life's too short to have it any other way. With a major five figure Midas PR launch, its pre-launch is at the London Book Fair "Beer Bash". Richard Fox will be the next television cookery phenomenon.
