Having cooked in Ireland professionally for 25 years, I have used Guinness in recipes numerous times. However, this is the first time I’ve crafted something so unique with it… the rich, deep flavour of Guinness balances so well with the spicy, fragrant elements of Chinese cuisine. We’re delighted with the collaboration. We hope you love the new dishes.”
