Is enjoying coffee with cake almost inseparable for you too?
Your Customers Will Never Stop To Use This Amazing book!
When I was growing up, coffee and cake were almost inseparable. Certainly we drank coffee in its most familiar form, on its own to jumpstart the day or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
But my most vivid memories are of coffee paired with cake, appearing together at special family gatherings. From birthday parties to baby showers to weddings, homemade cakes were carefully constructed and proudly served, always with a steaming pot of coffee.
My father's family came from Italy, so their attitude toward coffee and cake was informed by the Old World coffee culture, with its cozy coffeehouses and luscious pastries.
Even the American tradition of the coffee klatsch, an at-home gathering with coffee and sweets, had its beginnings in mid-nineteenth-century Germany. But the love of coffee and cake is hardly restricted to German-speaking people.
Today, virtually every American town has a coffeehouse of some kind, either a satellite of a mega-chain or a privately owned shop, selling many varieties of coffee beans and a wide range of beverages.
Italian espresso-based coffee drinks have become commonplace, but so have coffee beverages from Vietnam or Thailand, readily purchased (with appropriate sweets) at Asian restaurants. Coffee has long been a part of the American social experience, but now that experience has a more international feeling, light years beyond the dented percolator on the back of the stove.
For hundreds of years, the caffeine in coffee has served as a stimulant to encourage lively conversation at any gathering, and where there is coffee, cake is usually close by. Cakes are meant to be shared. Even the most gluttonous of gluttons would be hard-pressed to bake a cake and eat it alone.
Coffee and Cake shows how to prepare these two separate, yet inseparable, components at their very best in your home. Coffee is a very complex subject, and there are innumerable varieties of cakes, but this book focuses on the essentials.
First, the Coffee Primer teaches the basics of how to choose beans to suit your personal taste and make a better cup of coffee- you'll learn some fascinating historical facts about coffee along the way, too.
