This is not a recipe book. It is a database of ingredient
information that should assist the home or craft brewer in creating
their own recipes in order to attempt the replication of commercial
beers, many of which are no longer in production. Instructions on
how to convert the supplied ingredient information into recipes
customised to the brewer's own equipment and technique are
provided. This book also provides inspiration to brewers wishing to
experiment with different ingredients since it gives an interesting
insight into how professional brewers have used them in their own
brews. This third edition includes data for more beers and
breweries including a new category for historical beers. Finally,
this book should also be of interest to the discerning beer
enthusiast who is curious about what goes into their favourite
drink.
Letter from JoyI discovered that I was 'gluten intolerant' a couple
of years ago whilst I was writing 'Nosh Gluten-Free'. Friends had
asked me to write a gluten-free book, but during the process, I
realised that the stomach pains, which I had thought were due to
medication I was taking, were significantly relieved when I cut out
gluten from my diet. I was glad to find the cause of the problem,
but knew that this would make life challenging! So I began my
journey of gluten-free living with the book 'NOSH Gluten-Free' to
help me and now I have added this latest book, 'NOSH Gluten-Free
Baking'. I have to be frank and say that the 'Baking' book has been
the hardest book I have ever written; I have never had to deal with
so many failed attempts in all my years of cooking! For instance,
bread depends on gluten for its elasticity and 'bounce'. I must
have made about 50 different breads, all of which ended up in the
bin, before coming up with the new ones in this book, and my quest
still goes on to find more. During the process of writing this
book, one of the highlights would definitely be the puff pastry
recipe. When that pastry came out of the oven, with its distinct,
crispy layers, I could have done a little jig in the kitchen, right
there and then! When we find we are gluten intolerant, or
'coeliac', it can seem like a 'life sentence of no treats'. We go
into a cafe for coffee and cake and often find there is nothing we
can eat - all the 'yummy'-looking ones are full of gluten! My aim
in this book has been to reverse the 'sentence'. I have tried to
include recipes for the many things we might like to eat in the
coffee shops, as well as the regular desserts and savoury pastries
that seemed to be 'forbidden'. I hope that you enjoy cooking and
eating many of these re-found treats.
