The American Craft Beer Cookbook By John Holl In his new book, "The American Craft Beer Cookbook," beer journalist John Holl—who firmly believes that beer pairs better than wine with a fine meal—has traveled the country, collecting more than 150 recipes from breweries, brewpubs, chefs and beer-centric restaurants that illustrate the delicious intersection on the culinary road where food and beer meet. In some cases, beer is used as an ingredient in the recipes, but every recipe in the book discusses how to find that perfect pint to bring the meal to a crescendo where the complexity, depth, and breadth of a craft beer beautifully complements, contrasts with or enhances the flavors on the plate. Recipes in the text include Southern Tier Brewery's Free Range Super Pancakes, Uncommon Brewer's Lemongrass Chicken, Trinity Brewing's Watermelon Salad and Harpoon Brewery's Winter Warmer Pumpkin Pie. The recipes cover breakfast through dessert, and the breweries profiled showcase local favorites from Hawaii to Maine. John Holl has visited more than 900 breweries around the world, conducting research for his beer and travel books as well as articles for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Wine Enthusiast, Beverage World, and many other publications.

Having once represented Lebanon in the Miss World pageant, Bethany Kehdy now seeks to win fans to the cuisine of Lebanon and the Middle East. Her new book, "Pomegranates & Pine Nuts," has over 100 original recipes designed to bridge the gulf between the traditions of ancient and modern culture. "The Middle East cradles an ancient cuisine, one of the oldest in the world," writes Kehdy. "More than once I have come up against relatives who have challenged the most miniscule alteration I have made to a dish." When asked what is the biggest misconception about Lebanese food, Kehdy does not miss a beat. "We don't use a lot of spices in our food," said Kehdy. "The cuisine is centered around fresh herbs like cilantro, which give it tons of flavor. We do use allspice, but sparingly. Many of our dishes are balanced with citrus, especially lemon. The seasonings we use add flavor, not heat." Bethany Kehdy was born in Houston. She has lived in Florida and Hawaii and now resides in Devon, England. "Pomegranates & Pine Nuts" is available now for an SRP of $24.95.
