You may need to add more if the cookies are too dry. Keep mixing to a minimum — too much added air will cause the cookies to rise in the oven, but deflate as they cool. Bake the cookies for the least amount of time stated in the recipe, adding more baking time if necessary.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Replacing bad fats with good fats — </b>Replace butter or margarine high in saturated fat with a small amount of oil (like canola) that is high in unsaturated fat in your cookie recipes. A good general rule when substituting oil for butter is to use 1 tablespoon of oil in place of 4 tablespoons of butter. Think of butter as an accent flavor rather than a main ingredient. Use parchment paper or nonstick vegetable oil on your cookie sheets to ensure a reduction of the fat in your cookies. Also, reduce the sugar in the recipe by two or three tablespoons, and the finished cookie will be close to the original full-fat one.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Using egg whites to cut fat in place of whole eggs</b> — Two egg whites are equal to one whole egg. You can also determine the number of egg whites by measuring them in a liquid measuring cup. One-half cup is equal to three large egg whites.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Reducing fat by cutting down on nuts</b> — Although nuts are delicious, they still have a lot of fat. Cut the amount of nuts in recipes by one-third to one-half and replace some of that with flour. You can also toast the nuts to enhance their flavor.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Tips for icing cookies","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>If you want to top off your cookies with a sweet, creamy icing and keep them looking as great as they taste just follow these handy tips to ensure that your frosting efforts are a success:</p>\n<ul class=\"level-one\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Be sure that cookies are completely cool before applying icing or it will melt.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Test the consistency of the icing. If it’s too thick, thin with a few drops of water.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Use a small offset or flexible-blade spatula or a rubber spatula to apply the icing. Push it from the center of the cookie to the edges.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Work quickly so that the icing doesn’t dry out and start to set before you’re finished.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Keep your spatula clean between applications of icing by dipping it in a cup of warm water. Dry the spatula before putting it back in the container of icing.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Use icing in a parchment paper pastry cone or plastic pastry bag to apply accent colors and designs such as dots, lines, squiggles, and borders.

The good news is that the diet is just one of the <em>many</em> lifestyle factors that can significantly improve your health. By increasing physical activity, getting better sleep, socializing, and engaging in meaningful regular activities, in addition to getting the proper nutrition, diseases can be not only treated but prevented in the first place.</p>\n<p>Preventing illness is the goal of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Of course, if someone is already sick or dealing with chronic illness, following this millennia-old lifestyle can be very beneficial as well. Following a Mediterranean lifestyle has been known to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce your risk of heart disease by 47 percent</li>\n<li>Reduce the incidence and symptoms of neurogenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases</li>\n<li>Increase longevity</li>\n<li>Prevent cancer and tumor growth</li>\n<li>Reduce the risk of death from heart disease and cancer</li>\n<li>Prevent and reverse diabetes, hypertension, ADHD, and obesity</li>\n<li>Prevent and reduce inflammation, which is at the base of much illness</li>\n<li>Help people lose weight and maintain a healthy weight</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you follow the Mediterranean lifestyle, you can gain better overall health and increased, better-quality performance. As a society, when more people follow a Mediterranean lifestyle, healthcare costs are reduced. As an individual, you save money by staying healthy and avoiding large medical bills in the future. From a family budget standpoint, in addition to preventing illness and saving on healthcare, many of the daily activities promoted in the Mediterranean lifestyle are fun, inexpensive ways to pass down traditions to future generations. What’s most attractive about the Mediterranean lifestyle is that, by following it, people can enjoy themselves well into the latter parts of their lives and be more productive and active much later in life.</p>\n"},{"title":"Understanding the Mediterranean approach to food","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Long before you begin cooking, pick a restaurant, or start to eat, if you want to truly live with both pleasure and health in mind, you should adopt the Mediterranean approach to food. Different cultures think about food differently. In the United States, for example, people trying to lose weight often say, “I can’t even look at food” or “I’m on a diet — I can’t even think about food.” Many foods are labeled “bad,” and thinking of it too much makes you a glutton.</p>\n<p>In the Mediterranean region, people view and treat food as their greatest ally in maintain optimal health. They’re grateful for their food and feel blessed to have it. They enjoy food to its fullest with an “everything in moderation” approach. Food is also used as culinary medicine. As soon as someone has a medical symptom, they’re automatically “prescribed” a dried herb, type of food, or a spice by a friend or family member in order to make them feel better. In the traditional culture, whole food groups were never completely cut out the way they are in the United States today. Instead, people abstained from certain foods during fasting periods and when they weren’t in season, but then they enjoyed them again later on.</p>\n<p>People in the region are willing to pay more money for top-quality local food, especially if it comes from producers they know. Because the body craves the nutrients of fresh, local, seasonal produce, taking the time to procure the best of it will set you up for success. In addition, the act of growing foods yourself and cooking at home are two other healthful techniques that are praised in the Mediterranean region. Hospitality is paramount in each of the region’s countries as well, which means that people enjoy offering generous amounts of the best foods that they can afford to their guests. Food is, after all, meant for sharing, and eating communally is the foundation of Mediterranean eating.</p>\n"},{"title":"Facts to know before starting the Mediterranean diet","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>In order to fully benefit from the Mediterranean diet, consider all the lifestyle-based concepts that are prevalent there. By taking a positive attitude toward food, you’ll be able to understand the important role that it plays in the Mediterranean lifestyle. Throughout the region, food is viewed not only as a traditional medicinal, but also as a form of artistic expression, a social activity, a cultural relic, and most of all, an important symbol of hospitality. Making the mental shift to valuing the preparation and enjoyment of natural, whole foods, getting regular physical activity, and making a commitment to enjoy foods in community whenever possible is important. The Mediterranean diet offers great-tasting food with rich traditions attached to them. It pleases all ages and palates.</p>\n<p>Whether you want to reverse an illness that you’re already dealing with, or prevent yourself and your loved ones from getting sick, incorporating as many aspects of the Mediterranean lifestyle into your daily life as possible will guarantee results. A Mediterranean diet combined with physical activity, good amounts of sleep, and daily functionality will help you to achieve your mental and physical health goals. Incorporate the following concepts into your Mediterranean diet plan for maximum pleasure and health:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat communally as often as possible or video-chat with a friend when you can’t eat with people in person.</li>\n<li>Get as much pleasurable physical activity as possible.</li>\n<li>Spend time outdoors every day. Aim for 30 minutes, but even 10 minutes helps.</li>\n<li>Get more natural vitamin D via the sun. Be sure to wear sunscreen if you’ll be out in the middle of the day.</li>\n<li>Don’t sweat the small stuff — take life lightly.</li>\n<li>Engage in activities that you enjoy as often as possible.</li>\n<li>Take a 10- to 20-minute nap every day if possible.</li>\n<li>Try to sleep 6 to 8 hours every night.</li>\n<li>Eat your largest meal (in terms of size and calories) at lunch.</li>\n<li>Look for as many opportunities to laugh as possible.</li>\n<li>Foster close personal friendships.</li>\n<li>Plan your meals around produce. Aim for 5 to 12 servings of fresh produce a day.</li>\n<li>Use good-quality extra-virgin olive oil as your fat of choice. Good-quality extra-virgin olive oil is low in acidity and high in <em>phenols,</em> which are strong antioxidants and radical scavengers that help rid the body of harmful oxidants, which can damage cells.</li>\n<li>Get as much fresh air as possible and treat your eyes to the blues and greens in nature.</li>\n<li>Search for the meaning in life.</li>\n<li>Participate in intermittent fasting (with your doctor’s permission).</li>\n<li>Eat the rainbow — enjoy different types and colors of produce daily.</li>\n<li>Look on the bright side — the more comfortable with your life you are, the happier you’ll be.</li>\n</ul>\n"}],"videoInfo":{"videoId":null,"name":null,"accountId":null,"playerId":null,"thumbnailUrl":null,"description":null,"uploadDate":null}},"sponsorship":{"sponsorshipPage":false,"backgroundImage":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0},"brandingLine":"","brandingLink":"","brandingLogo":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0}},"primaryLearningPath":"Explore","lifeExpectancy":"Five years","lifeExpectancySetFrom":"2021-09-22T00:00:00+00:00","dummiesForKids":"no","sponsoredContent":"no","adInfo":"","adPairKey":[]},"status":"publish","visibility":"public","articleId":288517},{"headers":{"creationTime":"2016-03-27T16:53:13+00:00","modifiedTime":"2022-04-13T19:32:34+00:00","timestamp":"2022-04-14T00:01:04+00:00"},"data":{"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home, Auto, & Hobbies","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33809"},"slug":"home-auto-hobbies","categoryId":33809},{"name":"Food & Drink","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33839"},"slug":"food-drink","categoryId":33839},{"name":"Recipes","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33859"},"slug":"recipes","categoryId":33859},{"name":"Mediterranean Diet Recipes","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33875"},"slug":"mediterranean-diet-recipes","categoryId":33875}],"title":"Mediterranean Diet Cookbook For Dummies Cheat Sheet","strippedTitle":"mediterranean diet cookbook for dummies cheat sheet","slug":"mediterranean-diet-cookbook-dummies-cheat-sheet","canonicalUrl":"","seo":{"metaDescription":"Keep this Cheat Sheet handy for reference to Mediterranean diet principles, including ingredients and portion sizes","noIndex":0,"noFollow":0},"content":"Following a Mediterranean diet is a useful tool for overall health, weight management, and disease prevention.

Carb-containing foods provide important vitamins and minerals. People with diabetes should be mindful of their carbohydrate intakes and choose healthy foods in appropriate portions. Count carbohydrates to ensure your needs are met. Limit sugary foods with added fats and sodium. Opt for nutrient-rich carb choices as indicated here:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zero in on whole grains, such as brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, farro, millet, and bulgur. Look for &#8220;whole-grain&#8221; breads, pasta, and crackers.</li>\n<li>Count the carbs in your starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, corn, and peas.</li>\n<li>Eat plenty of non-starchy vegetables, including broccoli, asparagus, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, snow peas, mushrooms, tomatoes, and peppers. Load up on leafy green salads. Choose a variety of colorful produce.</li>\n<li>Look for ways to add legumes. Toss kidney or garbanzo beans into salads, dredge raw veggies in hummus, or have a side of beans.</li>\n<li>Forage for fresh fruits. Limit to one serving at a time and skip the juice. Eat portions that are the size of a tennis ball or that fit in a 1-cup measuring cup.</li>\n<li>Choose nonfat, low-fat, and reduced-fat milk and yogurt.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Picking best-bet proteins and fats","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Uncontrolled diabetes increases your risk for heart disease. Diabetes has a dietary component to successful management, and the same can be said for heart disease. In terms of diabetes, the focus is on carb quality, portioning, and carb counting. For heart health you&#8217;ll want to limit artery-clogging saturated fats and trans fats; instead choose healthier fats from vegetable oils and fish. These tips provide guidance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Opt for lean proteins to accompany your carbs. Fish is fantastic, seafood is sensational, poultry is perfect (skinless), tofu is terrific, and there&#8217;s even room for red meats (lean, not marbled).</li>\n<li>Protein is also provided in eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, and vegetarian meat replacements.</li>\n<li>Legumes are packed with protein. They also contain soluble fiber, which is the heart-healthy type that helps lower blood-cholesterol levels.</li>\n<li>Use heart-healthy fats and oils, including olive oil, canola or any liquid vegetable oil, nuts, nut butters, seeds, and avocados.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Portioning the perfect plate as you control carbs","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>For many people with type 2 diabetes, blood-glucose levels can be adequately controlled with simple carbohydrate portioning guidelines. Rather than counting carbs precisely, the plate method offers a quick visual tool for portioning foods. The plate method not only helps manage carb intake, but it can also help with weight control by setting serving size limits. Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill 1/4 of your dinner plate with grain, bread, or starchy vegetables.</li>\n<li>Reserve 1/4 of the plate for lean protein, then load up 1/2 of the plate with salad or low-carb vegetables.</li>\n<li>Opt for a small serving of fruit and a cup of reduced fat milk if desired.</li>\n<li>Here&#8217;s an additional visual check: Keep the protein serving the size of the palm of your own hand and the starch portion the size or your clenched fist.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Making better choices when counting carbs","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Managing carb intake is important for everyone with diabetes because carb choices and portions directly affect blood-glucose levels.

It&#8217;s definitely more complicated than grilling a chicken or baking a cake. But if you take the time to familiarize yourself with some of the processes and ingredients, you&#8217;ll have a much easier time creating delicious fermented items. The following glossary should help:</p>\n<p><b>Amasake: </b>A sweet fermented rice drink that has traditional roots in Japan.</p>\n<p><b>Anaerobic:</b> This term refers to environments without oxygen. In fermentation, an anaerobic environment is necessary for breaking down carbohydrates and turning them into sugar.</p>\n<p><b>Brine:</b> A saltwater solution. A brine is made for pickling or fermenting and acts on the food by drawing out the water from its cells and killing any bad bacteria that might spoil the food.</p>\n<p><b>Enzyme inhibitor:</b> An enzyme inhibitor decreases the enzymes function and can interfere with one&#8217;s digestion.</p>\n<p><b>Incubator: </b>Any object or supply that will help to keep your fermented food at the desired temperature during the fermentation process.</p>\n<p><b>Koji: </b>A fermented starter made from cultured soybeans and rice. It is responsible for breaking down the carbohydrates and sugars in food products.</p>\n<p><b>Kombucha:</b> A healing fermented drink that has its roots in Asia. It is made from a SCOBY (see below), tea, and sugar. It has a slightly tangy taste</p>\n<p><b>Kvass:</b> This fermented beverage began as a Russian brewed drink made from rye bread or beets. Has a flavor that&#8217;s similar to root beer or cola.</p>\n<p><b>Lactic acid:</b> This acid stops the growth of bad bacteria that might spoil your food, turning it into consumable fermented goods!</p>\n<p><b>Lactobacillus: </b>A bacteria that helps to produce lactic acid from carbohydrates. It is responsible for turning starches into sugars and acids and is essential for fermentation process.</p>\n<p><b>Phytic acid: </b>These anti-nutrients are naturally occurring in some grains and can prevent healthy minerals from being absorbed by your body.</p>\n<p><b>Probiotics:</b> Like lactobacillus, probiotics are micro-organisms that are healthy for our body and especially our gut! They are naturally occurring in foods.</p>\n<p><b>SCOBY:</b> <b>S</b>ymbiotic <b>C</b>olony <b>o</b>f <b>B</b>acteria and <b>Y</b>east. It is an essential culture needed for kombucha making, an ancient healing fermented drink.</p>\n<p><b>Starter: </b>Just another name for any pre-fermented product. Starter cultures can be purchased commercially or made at home. All starters are made up of naturally occurring microorganisms, most notably the Lactobacilli, and a combination of other food products such as water and flour or dairy product such as milk or yoghurt.</p>\n<p><b>Wort:</b> In homebrewing, the name for the beverage or soda mix before you have added your starter and initiated fermentation.</p>\n"},{"title":"Cleaning and sanitizing your fermenting tools","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>When fermenting, having a clean work space and tools ensures that your good bacteria outnumber the bad.

(Sterilized items don’t need rinsing.)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Air dry items or dry them with paper towels; use a fresh paper towel for each item.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Store items on clean paper towels on clean countertops or tables until you use them.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Remove pets and small children from the room before you begin to work.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Before beginning to work with food, tie back your hair if it’s long, and scrub your hands, including under your fingernails.</p>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Don’t use dishcloths or rags to dry the cleaned items. Cloth is notorious for holding huge quantities of harmful microbes, and you spread those from item to item as you wipe them. Instead, use a clean paper towel for each item if you need to dry them. Aprons made of cloth also spread bacteria, especially if you wipe your hands on them, so keep paper towels close by for wiping your hands.</p>\n"}],"videoInfo":{"videoId":null,"name":null,"accountId":null,"playerId":null,"thumbnailUrl":null,"description":null,"uploadDate":null}},"sponsorship":{"sponsorshipPage":false,"backgroundImage":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0},"brandingLine":"","brandingLink":"","brandingLogo":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0}},"primaryLearningPath":"Explore","lifeExpectancy":"Five years","lifeExpectancySetFrom":"2022-04-05T00:00:00+00:00","dummiesForKids":"no","sponsoredContent":"no","adInfo":"","adPairKey":[]},"status":"publish","visibility":"public","articleId":207800},{"headers":{"creationTime":"2016-03-27T16:51:37+00:00","modifiedTime":"2022-04-05T21:30:27+00:00","timestamp":"2022-04-06T00:01:10+00:00"},"data":{"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home, Auto, & Hobbies","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33809"},"slug":"home-auto-hobbies","categoryId":33809},{"name":"Food & Drink","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33839"},"slug":"food-drink","categoryId":33839},{"name":"Recipes","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33859"},"slug":"recipes","categoryId":33859},{"name":"Pressure Cookers","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33877"},"slug":"pressure-cookers","categoryId":33877}],"title":"Pressure Cookers For Dummies Cheat Sheet","strippedTitle":"pressure cookers for dummies cheat sheet","slug":"pressure-cookers-for-dummies-cheat-sheet","canonicalUrl":"","seo":{"metaDescription":"Learn about cooking with a pressure cooker, including temperature-pressure ratios, cooking times, and tips for great results.","noIndex":0,"noFollow":0},"content":"You can cook virtually anything in a pressure cooker — from meats and main courses to rice, potatoes, and vegetables of every description, to dessert.

Pressure cooking does require some adjustments, however. Follow these tips for the best pressure-cooking results:</p>\n<ul class=\"level-one\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Brown meats, poultry, and even some vegetables — like chopped onions, peppers, or carrots — first and then deglaze the pot for more intense flavor. </b>In a stove-top pressure cooker, simply add a small amount of oil, such as olive or canola oil, to the pressure cooker and heat, uncovered, over medium-high heat. Add the food in small batches and brown the food on all sides. Remove the food to a bowl and set aside. You’re now going to loosen up and remove those delicious, cooked-on juices and tiny food particles left behind by deglazing the pot with a small amount of wine, broth, or even water. Return the cooked food previously removed from the pot along with the remaining ingredients and cook under pressure. For an electric cooker, follow the same steps just described, selecting the Brown setting.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Don’t overdo the liquid.</b> Because food cooks in a closed, sealed pot when cooking under pressure, you have less evaporation and should therefore use less cooking liquid than when cooking in a conventional pot. Regardless of what you’re cooking, however, always use enough liquid. A good rule of thumb is at least 1 cup of liquid; however, check the owner’s manual or recipe booklet to see exactly what the pressure-cooker manufacturer recommends. Never fill the pot more than halfway with liquid.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Don’t fill any pressure cooker with too much food.</b> Never fill a pressure cooker more than two-thirds full with food. Also, never pack food tightly into a pressure cooker. If you don’t follow these basic rules for cooking under pressure, the pressure cooker won’t operate efficiently, affecting how the food comes out. You may also cause the safety valves to activate, especially if there’s too much food in the pot.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Remember that even pieces mean evenly cooked food.</b> Food should be cut into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook in the same amount of time.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Use stop-and-go cooking for perfect results.</b> When making a recipe that contains ingredients that cook at different times, begin by partially cooking slow-to-cook foods, such as meat, first. Then use a quick-release method to stop the pressure cooker. Next, add the faster-cooking ingredients — such as green beans or peas — to the meat. Bring the pot back up to pressure again and finish everything up together at the same time.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Start off high and finish up low.</b> When cooking in a stove-top pressure cooker, start cooking over high heat. After you reach pressure, lower the burner to a simmer. No need to worry about adjusting the heat when cooking in an electric pressure cooker. The appliance does it for you automatically.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Play burner hopscotch to avoid burning when cooking in a stovetop pressure cooker.</b> When you reach pressure over high heat, you lower the burner to a simmer. Gas burners react quickly, but most electric burners don’t. If you have an electric stove, use two burners: one on high heat to reach pressure and a second set on a low setting to maintain pressure. Switch the pressure cooker over to the burner with the low setting when you reach pressure.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Set a timer.</b> Have a kitchen timer handy so that after the pressure cooker reaches and maintains pressure, you can set it for the cooking time specified in the recipe. Note that electric pressure cookers have their own digital timers built in.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Use an electric pressure cooker if you want to do pressure cooking the super-easy way.</b> Choose the desired pressure level by pressing either the high or low pressure button on the control panel. Then, set the desired time you want to cook under pressure by pressing the high or low button for increasing or decreasing cook time. Now, press Start. The pressure cooker starts the countdown time when the level of pressure you chose is reached. It then beeps when done, telling you your food is ready.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Bear in mind that high altitude means longer cooking times.</b> You may have to increase the cooking times if you live at an elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level or higher. A good general rule is to increase the cooking time by 5 percent for every 1,000 feet you are above the first 2,000 feet above sea level.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"first-para\"><b>Release that pressure.</b> When the food is done cooking under pressure, use an appropriate pressure-release method, according to the recipe you’re making.</p>\n<p class=\"first-para\">Be sure never to attempt a cold-water release with your electric pressure cooker — unless you want to shorten its lifespan or your own! Never submerge the appliance in water and always be sure to unplug it before cleaning.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Temperature-pressure ratios for pressure cooking","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Pressure cooking is just what the name says — cooking foods under pressure.

Beer Unusual Beer Styles and Great Beer Brands to Try at Least Once

Article / Updated 05-04-2022

Most beer drinkers tend to drink just a couple different beer styles without straying too far off the beaten path. But to fully understand and appreciate the wider spectrum of beer styles, here are a few types of beers that every beer drinker should taste at least once: Belgian Fruit Lambic: Well-aged ale with surprising, effusive fruit aroma and taste; intoxicating fragrance Doppelbock: Strong, dark, and caramel-like Bock Beer with two times the flavor and body of Bock (doppel your pleasure, doppel your fun) Imperial Stout: Dark, rich, and creamy Stout with complex grain flavors; a brew to chew Rauchbier: Oktoberfest beer made with a portion of beechwood-smoked malt; delicious and unique but takes somewhat of an acquired taste (great with smoked cheese or sausage) Witbier: Perfumy Belgian Wheat Beer made with orange rind and coriander seed; like nothing else in the beer world Certain brands of beer have become synonymous with distinctly different flavor profiles. The following short list includes some of the more famous brands along with a couple others that are still cultivating a following. True beer lovers should taste all of them at least once. Guinness Stout (Ireland): Dark, dry, smooth, and roasty, with a creamy head; the perfect sipping pint Pilsner Urquell (Czech Republic): Crisp and hoppy with a touch of malty sweetness; the original, classic Pilsner beer Rodenbach Grand Cru (Belgium): Sharply sour but refreshing, with fresh fruity notes; beer masquerading as Burgundy wine Samichlaus (Austria): Incredibly malty-rich and spirited; a terrific tipple for the Christmas holidays Samuel Adams Utopias (United States): Throat-warming malt complexity with hints of oak, like no beer you’ve ever had; that’s why you sip it like a brandy
