FOOD + BEER = HAPPINESS. From prolific cookbook author Ross Dobson (a man who really knows his beer) comes this collection of over 80 relaxed, authentic, international dishes. These flavour-packed recipes have been chosen for their particular suitability for enjoying with a cold one. Writing in his inimitable expert and wryly entertaining style, Ross begins with a brief history of beer, its place in the culinary world, and its intriguing importance in the society and geography of our civilisation. Every recipe in the book includes a suggestion for the most perfect malted brew to serve alongside. And scattered throughout are special features on Ross's favourite beers from around the globe.
