Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Crisps of baked Parmigiano Reggiano make gorgeous garnishes for salads, and are pretty tempting to snack on by themselves.
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle cheese evenly to cover bottom part of pan. Cook about 3 minutes, until cheese is melted and light brown. Use thin spatula to flip and cook until firm, about 30 seconds more.
Loosen edges and transfer to plate. Let cool completely, break into large pieces and serve over salad or with aged Balsamic Vinegar and sliced Prosciutto di Parma.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
