Beaujolais nouveau can be used for cooking, as a substitute for other red wines. The flavors will generally be lighter, brighter and simpler, and the colors imparted to the food will be more purple-pink, and less of a rich, dark red. One recipe that can benefit from the Beaujolais nouveau is poached pears; the pears take on a deep purple hue. Another is Coq au vin, where the chicken takes on a purple (violet) hue.

Famous quotes containing the word cooking:
“A man’s destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wife’s cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbour’s grandson
Playing in the dust together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
