hi all, i have been looking through recipe websites at yummy new recipes as i have started menu planning(doing a fortnightly plan as we get paid fortnightly) and i see a few stews/casseroles have wine/beer in them. does the alcohol cook out? and are these ok for the kids(5 yr old and 2 yr old twins) to eat? and do the have the alcohol taste to them?

Yes, the alcohol does cook out and it's certainly okay for your wee kids. No, doesn't have an alcohol taste. but does add a "different" flavour. I use both wine and beer (not in the same recipe lol! ) - give it a try, it's different.

awesome thank you. most recipes say red wine... can i use any type of red wine? we are not wine drinkers at all.

if your left with a part bottle or just buying to cook with. Freeze down into ice cube trays and store in a container! !
Then its on hand when you need it!
Great for adding to stews, marinating, trifles etc:)

Yes, it does and it does impart a lovely flavour in the food. I use white wine in my light gravy and a red wine in my dark gravy and it is delicious.
