BOOK REVIEW: Chocolate & Coffee by Catherine Atkinson,
Mary Banks, Christine France and Christine McFadden
After books, coffee and chocolate never fails to be a girls’
best friend. A large, chewy, decadent brownie with hot fudge sauce or an iced
caramel macchiato lifts spirits of broken hearts or warms the heart with
feelings of fuzzy love and friendship. Being wonderfully suitable to suit any
emotion or occasion, coffee and chocolate has long been at the forefront in the
culinary scene. Chocolate & Coffee is a jaw-dropping book of over 200
irresistible recipes for total indulgence, shown step-by-step in over 1400
photographs.
A celebration of our twin love affairs with chocolate and
coffee, this book explores the importance of these sinful ingredients throughout
history until today, from their mythical origins to their present global
status.
Besides that, Chocolate & Coffee tells you everything
you need to know about them: how to choose them, how to drink them and how to
make delicious cakes, confectionery and other treats. Chocolate and coffee
recipes demonstrate the wonderful culinary versatility through the recipes of
delicious meringues, tarts, pies, ice cream and frozen desserts, and much more.
Being a crazy chocaholic and coffee addict, I couldn’t resist
the temptation to reach out for this thick tome of all things sinful and
mouth-wateringly decadent. One of the leading books on chocolate and coffee, I
highly recommend readers who have a love for these ancient gods’ indulgences to
grab this book for friends and family, or even better keep it for yourself!
