Rough & Raw

This book tells about the meeting between two worlds that represent the raw-product trends that are spreading in the latest years: the one of the raw materials of highest quality enhanced by the creation of raw meals and the one of the birth of Home Breweries.

Raw fish or meat recipes or gourmet salads find in beer a tablemate, which, with its unindustrialized fragrances, remind of and support the wholesome ingredients and the territory taste with which the dishes are prepared.

Which is the right beer to match with a certain food?

The answer to this question is a game of fragrances, sensations, but also the atmosphere of the evening, your friends and your laughers...

I decided to try to gather all this in 30 events organized to play together with homemade beers or from worldwide microbreweries.

I will host my friends, gourmet enthusiasts, and I will prepare for the evening a dish of raw food and, together, we will chose its ideal partner.

We will not judge beer in itself, nor the dish, but the matching, the pleasantness of the union or the game of the contrast.

Rough and raw is an invitation for the readers to make culinary experiments, especially matchings according their own taste.
