Cooking with Coffee: Brewing Up Sweet and Savory Everyday Dishes

Description

Coffee. Joe. Java. Liquid gold. Whatever you call it, coffee is one of the most popular beverages not only in the country, but all around the world. Coffee has been shown to have great health benefits, but most people only use it in its most common form: brewed as a hot drink. But coffee is so much more than that! Thanks to the varying origins of beans and the differences in the roasting process, coffee offers a wide range of flavors and undertones, which means there's a coffee bean you can use in just about anything. From new coffee drinks to chocolate cupcakes and spicy tacos, coffee adds a depth of flavor to every dish. In Cooking with Coffee, popular internet blogger Brandi Evans discusses the history of coffee, the different brewing options, and how to make the best coffee in your own home. She then provides more than sixty recipes featuring coffee so you'll never run out of reasons to have coffee in your pantry. Recipes include: Orange mocha pudding cups Whole grain waffles with vanilla maple coffee glaze Coffee barbeque sauce Coffee-braised short ribs Spiced roasted nuts And more
