PASION por el CAFE

Passion for Coffee

Paixao pelo Café

All the images in this book have been taken during the actual creative recipe experience. My original recipes from all my experience as a Pastry Chef and the pictures taken in the kitchen during a whole year while making each one of the recipes, the first trials and the final recipes as they were written. The images and the stories of the people in the coffee plantations are also true to life, real people with real names and true stories of their life around the amazing life of the highest quality grade coffee in the world. The recipes of the sweet chapters are all classical with some of my own creations and they are as they should be prepared with the highest quality ingredients, such as eggs, real butter, cream, 70% or higher grade chocolate etc. The recipes on the Savory chapters, salads, main dishes, are all very light and extremely easy to prepare.
Just this past Wednesday I was at a Whole Foods store in Cambridge, Massachusetts and bought a coffee syrup which you can use if you prefer to use an all ready, natural, high quality coffee syrup in the recipes.

The freeze dried coffee I used is made in Colombia at an amazing plant in the middle of the coffee growing regions of Chinchiná, Caldas in Colombia. Its brand name is Buendía but you might find it under many names, produced in Colombia.
Enjoy an amazing array of new flavors and textures all infused with the magnificent aroma, taste and nutritional qualities of the great red ben, Coffee.
