A riendi s 13 weeks pregnant . would liek to know is she can have food cooked with alcohol. in this case it'll be tempura atter mixed with beer. it'll be a negligible amount - really just enought batter to coat some veggies.

yes, she should be fine. Unless your doctor orders otherwise, you shouldn't have to give up every drop of alcohol for nine months, though you should keep it to a minimum. Beer in batter sounds pretty minimum to me

Most of the alcohol will be cooked out anyway, but unless she starts drinking pints of raw beer batter, she should be absolutely fine.
