By Clement Pedro, 3 November 2015

Sure, you’re used to adding wine to your food (and guzzling down the leftovers), but what about beer? Clement Pedro has five recipe suggestions that will change the way you cook (and look) at beer.

Besides being the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man, beer isn’t just for drinking, and it’s about time we started using it a lot more in the kitchen.

We are all familiar with using wine when preparing dishes, its flavour and aromas add to the overall depth and complexity of the final result. That’s exactly what beer does too, so the next time you’re preparing a dish that needs a splash wine or stock, get hopping and opt for your favourite brew instead.

Here are some ideas:

Beer cheese
