Food & Drink With so many different flavors to experiment with, beer and wine are the perfect ingredients for at-home chefs who enjoy the trial-and-error process that (hopefully) begats culinary perfection. Tips for Cooking with Beer Cooking with beer isn't complicated, but be sure you follow our Guide to Beer's one cardinal rule: never cook with a beer that you wouldn't drink. If you don't like it as a beverage, you probably won't like it in a recipe either.
