THE “PILSNER URQUELL PERFECT PAIRINGS COOKBOOK” MERGES CANADIAN FLAVOURS WITH THE ORIGINAL PILSNER
Thirty-eight celebrated chefs from across Canada have contributed their favourite Pilsner Urquell-inspired recipes to a limited edition cookbook designed for the chef-at-home. From Braised Alberta Spring Creek Beef Short Ribs to Haute Poutine with Duck Confit and Quebec Cheese Curds, the PILSNER URQUELL PERFECT PAIRINGS COOKBOOK takes Canadian flavours to new heights by utilizing the rich, full-bodied lager as a recipe component or accompaniment. The cookbook will be available for a small donation at a series of tasting events, along with select participating restaurants, this Fall. All proceeds will benefit students at Pilsner Urquell’s partner chef schools – the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts in Vancouver and Liaison College Downtown Campus in Toronto.
“It was really exciting to see top chefs from across the country flex their creative culinary muscle and develop an array of unique, mouth-watering dishes – from appetizers to dessert,” says Stewart Cowan, General Manager of Pilsner Urquell in Canada. “As the world’s first golden lager, Pilsner Urquell revolutionized the beer world. We believe this collection of exceptional recipes will help revolutionize the concept of cooking with beer.”
From Chef Vikram Vij of the acclaimed Vij’s restaurant, to Chef Cory Vitiello of the highly praised Harbord Room, to Chef Jason Bangerter of Oliver & Bonacini’s celebrated restaurant, Luma – the PILSNER URQUELL PERFECT PAIRINGS COOKBOOK has successfully brought together best in class chefs from coast to coast. “It’s an honour to be showcased amongst such a standout group of chefs,” says Chef Vitiello. “This country is rife with culinary talent, and it’s wonderful to be part of a project that raises the profile of Canada’s diverse restaurant offerings, while supporting the next generation of Canadian chefs.”
For those who prefer to savour a meal versus make it themselves, each of the 38 participating restaurants will feature their recipe on their menu during the month of November 2012.

About Pilsner Urquell
In 1842, visionary brewer, Josef Groll, changed the face of the beer world by introducing the world’s first golden lager. He named it Pilsner in honour of the Bohemian city, Pilsen, where it was first – and continues to be – brewed. For centuries, Pilsner Urquell’s brewmasters have dedicated themselves to maintaining the integrity of the fine golden lager, passing the secrets of their brewing techniques down through the generations so that Pilsner Urquell can ultimately remain the uncompromised original.
Pilsner Urquell is coveted by discerning beer drinkers around the world, including Canada, the United States, Europe, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, and United Kingdom.
