Cooking with Beer
About the episode
As the first Cooking With programme the aim was to grab the attention of the audience with the one thing students know most about: beer, so recipes all included beer in some shape or form.
It was recorded in Langwith D block kitchen on the ground floor, though for some reason no curtains were used to cover the windows leading to a slightly dark appearance due to the daytime recording.
The closing titles featured "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles, lyrically unrelated to beer.
