2 minutes ago Audio Description Login here to listen to the audio description Fans of history will be well aware of the shifting state of borders and allegiances across Central Europe. Kingdoms, states and principalities came and went, but one of the most important countries was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Actually, it was two countries with one ruler, the Emperor of Austria and the King of Hungary. Seriously chef, what has this got to do with cooking?
Slow-cooked beef and beer chilli

Jan 26, 2025 | wb.camra.org.uk | Christian Gott |Matthew Curtis |Roger Protz |Laura Hadland

3 minutes ago Audio Description Login here to listen to the audio description It’s a new year and an extremely cold and wet start for many of us. So, I thought it would be a great idea to post something suitable for the dreary dark winter nights. It's a fabulous recipe for a slow-cooked chunky beef and beer chilli con carne. However, chilli con carne, or chilli, is almost as contentious a subject to write about as your favourite beer, as there are numerous recipes and ingredients.

1 week ago Audio Description Login here to listen to the audio description For my last recipe of the year, I wanted to post something which involves beer, is appropriately seasonal and, most of all, reflects my cooking style. I like big bold flavours and the great combination of sticky, sweet and salty, much like you find in barbecue or Cantonese cooking. If, like me, you like all things American, home of sweet sticky marinades and sauces, then you will know 28 November was Thanksgiving.

1 week ago Audio Description Login here to listen to the audio description This month’s recipe is refreshing, fun and, best of all, as easy as pie. To be honest, a lot easier than baking a pie. To date, the recipes I’ve suggested have all had beer as a key element but with plenty of other ingredients – what else would you expect in What’s Brewing? The beer flavours were picked to balance and complement all the other parts of the dish.
