      I sure do. I cook my homemade spaghetti sauce and sauteed mushrooms in wine and anything else that I think will benefit from a little bit of wine. I also use beer.

        I thought of you as I added it. No fresh mushrooms I'm sad to admit.....

        I use beer in cooking as well. It breaks down meat very well. "Tender" is the key.

        I use beer for onion ring batter etc. LOL

        Me as well. I am allergic to the gluten but it does make batters better.

        I have been slowly but surely going through Julia Child's cookbook... she loved to cook with alcohol. Two days ago I caught one of her programs and by today's cooking standards, she looks like a hack.

        I can tell you, her recipes taste amazing.

        @Fish....So, do you use gluten free beer? Does it work as well?
        commented 8 years ago

        No. Gluten is important in recipes.

        I basically go by instinct and it usually works out.

        @ CB... loved the movie. I thought it was beyond adorable.

        @Fish....I'm confused. You "go by instinct"? So, you can eat food that contains beer/gluten? That would make me very ill.

        I don't eat it I make it.

        Recipe books are my novels.

        Then I ask for opinions and tweek.

        I love cooking. It was the thing my sister and I did.

          You are not allergic?

          I know... the one thing I am not allergic to and use in cooking a lot. :)
          commented 8 years ago

          Yes, wine, beer, brandy, whisky, all enhance flavors.

            No , not really tried. Not one of my college meat cooking classes at Texas Tech even mention flavoring steaks or burgers with any type of liquor. Probably because good meat does not need flavoring.
