Entertaining with Booze

: IN STORES NOW!; Bigger, louder and boozier than ever, Entertaining with Booze is the much anticipated 2nd book in the Cooking with Booze series and it’s arrived at book stores everywhere! Featuring wine and beer guides, pantry stocking tips, hangover remedies and, of course, great food and drink recipes, Entertaining with Booze has everything you need to become a party host extraordinaire.

Featured Recipe

: Field Mushroom and Bacon Frittata; Frittata’s make wonderful brunch fare because they serve a crowd from one pan and can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature—and they’re a helluva lot easier than flippin’ omelets.

More Recipes

: Grilled Sirloin with Coffee Cognac Barbecue Sauce; If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, there may be no hope. The full-flavored sauce is also great with burgers and ribs.

: Forest Mushroom and Irish Ale Soup; Perfect to warm the belly and the soul, this soup can nourish a family of four right through the cold winter—or on a lovely spring day.

: Cranberry and Almond Irish Whiskey Cake; Soaked in booze this cake actually gets better with age. Serve with a dollop of Bailey’s-spiked whipped cream for further indulgence.

Cooking with Booze is quite simply about eating and drinking, though not necessarily in that order. With its cheeky 20-something perspective, Cooking with Booze delivers a menu of contemporary urban fare complemented by hearty classics. From brunch to desserts, risottos to barbecue, it's a book that sees the liquor cabinet as an extension of the spice rack.

"The tips are practical and the recipes delicious, the book is cheeky and fun, right from the cover, with its photo of a lobster claw holding a classic martini."

Joanne Sasvari, Calgary Herald.

"All three of the recipes we tested were inspirational and very fine in flavour. Dining on giant seared scallops with a tomatoey-coconutty Swahili sauce was a joyful new adventure."

Susan Sampson, Toronto Star

"Cooking with Booze combines great food with a wide range of alcohol from the simple to the exotic."

Ken Carriere, Globe and Mail
