Espresso: Drinks, Desserts, and More

Rating:
Summary: Creative, fun and easy to follow
Review: I have had this book for quite some time and was pleased with the variety of recipes and ideas it presented. I expected much less for the price. The introduction contains info on roasting, selecting, brewing, steaming milk and other important details. It contains a section of hot drinks without alcohol and another section of drinks containing alcohol. Those are followed by a section of cold drinks with and without alcohol. The final section is a collection of recipes incorporating espresso as one of the ingredients. Some recipes are: Espresso Jack Daniels Rib Sauce; Pork Tenderloin with Espresso Sauce; Espresso Special Chili; Red Beans and Rice; Tiramisu; Espresso Chocolate Cheesecake; Espresso Pecan Pie; Chocolate-Espresso Gelato; Espresso-Scotch Frosting and Espresso Truffles. I recommend this book to those who love coffee and also enjoy trying new things. There's lots of fun to be had here and it's a great starter if you're new to the realm of espresso drinks.
