The Official Guinness Cookbook Caroline Hennessy Hardcover Book A Definitive Recipes Guide

The Official Guinness Cookbook by Caroline Hennessy (Hardcover) is a mouthwatering collection for home cooks, pub-lovers, and anyone who wants to cook with — and alongside — the world-famous beers of the Guinness brewery. Brand new and beautifully produced, this hardcover cookbook brings more than sixty recipes that put Guinness stouts and lagers at the center of comforting, inventive dishes. It’s ideal for parents who cook for family dinners, hosts planning festive menus, teachers using food culture in lessons, or gift buyers searching for a unique boxed set alternative.

This cookbook showcases how different beers—from the classic Guinness Draught to crisp Extra Stout, bittersweet Foreign Extra Stout, and citrusy Baltimore Blonde—can transform savory mains, sweet bakes, and cocktails. Recipes range from a rich Braised Short Rib that benefits from stout’s depth, to a light Creamy Mint Cocktail for relaxed evenings, and a surprising Chocolate Potato Cake that highlights the brewer’s bittersweet notes. Each recipe is paired with full-color food photography, suggested menu ideas for gatherings or special events, and practical recipe modifications so cooks at every level can adapt flavors and portions.
