Recipe in a Bottle: The Southern Man Cookbook

Speight’s has produced the ultimate Southern Man Cookbook: Generous to a Fault, which will help any Northern boy become a Southern man, and any woman unlock the secrets to the heart of a Southern Charmer.

“We’ve put together the Southern Man Cookbook so you can experience the Speight’s Southern Man legend at home,” says Speight’s Sean O’Donnell. “Speight’s has its roots in the South so we’re keen to promote the great Southern qualities: generosity of spirit, mateship and ‘can-do’ attitude.”

The book includes recipes, anecdotes, helpful information on beer sizes, how to master beer speak, beer matching ideas, as well as the history on Speight’s and the personalities behind the company and the Ale Houses, not to mention the stunning photography of the Southern landscape and the mouth-watering dishes.

From the Barbecued Chicken recipe with a Speight’s Gold Medal Ale actually inside the chook, to Arran Pene’s (Sore) Ribs recipe and Jamie Mackintosh’s Chicken Burger – each is sprinkled with the southern wit and charm you’d expect from the iconic Speight’s brand. And Mrs McConnell’s Venison Pie will, of course, be a hit with any Southern guest.

“There’s nothing difficult or exotic about the food featured in this book – it’s just hearty, delicious, quality tucker – with a few beer recommendations along the way,” says O’Donnell – as understated as you’ve come to expect of New Zealand’s Pride of the South.

RRP $45.00: In quality bookstores and Speight’s Alehouses from early November
