BOOK REVIEW: Mocha by Michael Turback
Starbucks, San Francisco Coffee, Au Bon Pain, Library Coffee Cafe and the list just keeps getting longer and longer....we all love the aroma and flavor profiles of a good cuppa, be it night or day. What's even better is reading about mocha, one of the many coffee "species" that we commonly here like cappuccino and espresso.
Coffee and chocolate combined have a complementary effect, which means drinking a mocha wakes you up and puts you in a good mood.
High quality chocolate, strong coffee, and a big mug - basic tools of the trade for Mocha, the sophisticated follow-up to Michael Turback's best-selling Hot Chocolate.
Presented in a compact yet luxurious collection, this book offers nearly 60 recipes featuring the companionable ingredients of chocolate and coffee.
Ranging from cozy cocoa concoctions to caffeinated couture combinations, recipes include hot drinks; cold, refreshing classics; creative cocktails; and outrageous desserts.
Recipe contributors include notable chocolatiers, popular coffee purveyors, preeminent restaurant chefs, and a competitive cadre of coffeehouse baristas.
Reading about mocha, now I truly understand what constitutes this chocalatey caffeinated goodness in a cup that everyone craves for on a cold, rainy day. So readers, grab a mugful of this sinful brew, shimmy over to your reading nook and have a go at this addictive book.
