Based on the book's title, I knew that I was going to find 100 beer/food recipes. I really like the way the Table of Contents is organized, and it was eye-catching to see "BREAKFAST" as Chapter 1. Glancing through the three pages of recipe titles, I saw dozens of awesome sounding dishes that I hope to try to recreate. Chocolate Chip and Smoked Porter Pancakes, Jalapeños and Bacon Beer Cheese Dip, IPA-Marinated Pork Chops with Stout Cherry Sauce, and Maple and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Beer-Glazed Salmon are just 4% of them!

Each recipe has an introduction, something to make you want to try to make it yourself. The ingredients and instructions are easy to read and follow. One thing you won't find are specific beer brands to buy. You will find "smoked porter" or "IPA" or "wheat" beer instead. A section called "Choose the Right Brew!" accompanies each recipe to help explain the choice and what to look for in a beer. Some might find not having an exact product name in mind intimidating, but if you go to a beer retailer, you will find some beer geek employees that are happy to make recommendations.
Another thing I liked about this book is that the ingredients are very approachable. You will not look at these recipes and say, "I'm not going to try that because I need to buy 10 things that I'll never use again." The one ingredient you will probably need to buy is the beer though, so do some planning before you start cooking.
