Spirit of Kentucky: Bourbon Cookbook
Over 500 recipes in a hardback, padded, three-ring binder. Each recipe has a note about the history of the food or information about an ingredient. Learn how the Hot Brown and Chess Pie got their names.
Bourbon sports a collective aroma
of smoke, vanilla, caramel, fruit, floral, and spice. These flavors enhance
almost any dish, from meats to desserts to vegetables and soups
and
yes, chocolate, especially chocolate.
You can enjoy the appealing, rich flavor with several dashes of bourbon or savor
the subtle, delicious taste with a simple dash or two, neither of which will
leave you tipsy. When cooking at a temperature above 172 degrees, bourbon loses
its alcoholic content, but the intense flavor remains. Any food that boils is
hot enough to evaporate the alcohol. Some recipes have instructions to add the
bourbon at the end of the cooking process and some require no heat at all. Those
recipes will retain the alcohol.
A little bourbon gives a new dimension to the flavor of the food. But,
if you prefer, bourbon can be eliminated from these recipes. Most of the recipes
have an option to eliminate the bourbon or to use another ingredient, such as an
extract, as a substitute. The extracts with the most intense flavors are alcohol-based.
Substitutes for bourbon won’t provide the same flavor. The
amount of bourbon in these recipes can be altered to meet your taste preference.
It’s fun to experiment with recipes and with a few simple changes, make them
your own. Many of these recipes have multiple parts. At least one part of each
recipe contains bourbon as an ingredient.
Because of its spicy, sweet essence, bourbon complements many foods. Experience a culinary adventure as you add a dash—or more—of bourbon to these recipes. Cooking with bourbon is not about the alcohol; it’s all about the flavor. You’ll tickle your taste buds, and that’s not just the bourbon talking, I promise.
