Brassages : Bières, légendes et recettes "mutatis mutandis" (French edition) by Jean-Paul Romac | Éditions de l'Épure

"Brewing: Beers, Legends & Recipes" by Jean-Paul Romac, illustrated by the author himself, is much more than just a cookbook. It is a true dive into the world of brewing culture, where history, legends, and techniques blend to offer the reader a deep understanding of brewing techniques and brewing culture.

The ambition of this work is to enlighten any cooking and beer enthusiast who wishes to start or deepen their knowledge in brewing. By exploring the discoveries of the first farmers, contemporaries of Adam and Eve, Romac tells us how barley, cultivated for millennia, has evolved to become a key ingredient in beer, bread, and even whiskey.

The book is structured alphabetically, allowing the reader to navigate through the subjects smoothly. Each term, from Adam and Eve to zymurgist, is explored carefully, offering clear and detailed explanations on the concepts, techniques, and stories that have shaped brewing culture.

Among the many topics covered is the transformation of starchy plants, a crucial process in creating beer. These plants, after being saccharified, are brewed to produce a variety of fermented beverages, each with its own history and production methods.

The book doesn't stop at theory. It also offers more than 35 beer recipes and hundreds of cooking recipes, using brewing by-products to create original and tasty dishes. These recipes are accessible, well-explained, and even allow novices to try brewing at home.

In addition to the recipes, the book contains more than 250 articles covering a wide range of topics, from the technical aspects of brewing to historical anecdotes, practical advice, and amusing stories. Each page is an invitation to discover a bit more about this fascinating world where science meets art, and where tradition marries innovation.
