| Review: |
Since nearly the dawn of history, people have enjoyed the provocative flavor combination of chocolate and coffee known as mocha. In a worthy follow up to his previous book, Hot Chocolate, author Michael Turback explores this combination in it most popular forms from cocktails, to nonalchoholic drinks, to decadent desserts. You'll find a collection of 50 recipes (35 drinks, 15 desserts) illustrated by more than 15 beautiful full color photos. Recipe contributors include notable chocolatiers, popular coffee purveyors, preeminent restaurant chefs, and coffee house baristas. You'll also expand your culinary knowledge with a brief history of the cacao bean and the coffee bean, tracing the mocha migration from South America and Africa to Europe, with a special focus on Renaissance Italy where the hot mocha drink Bicerin was born. This book will sure add to the fun of holiday and winter gatherings, and also makes a wonderful hostess gift when attending holiday parties. Chapters include: Chocolates and Coffees -- Mutual Attraction; Mochalogue -- Ingredients, Tools and techniques; Italian Lessons -- The Treasure of Turin, The Tuscan Aesthetic; Drinks; Cocktails; Desserts. |
