Introduction
Coffee has long been the drink of choice for those looking for a power up just about anywhere. Coffee practically keeps business class ad those with a hectic schedule going. I certainly understand how important coffee is when you need that burst of energy. Nothing beats a hot cup of Joe early in the morning to start your day right. But not all of us like our coffee hot but thats the beauty of coffee you can have it hot or cold. Just grab an iced coffee drink and get just as much a burst as from warm coffee.
As I visited a local coffee shop and basked in all the fresh coffee goodness I was inspired to try making some dishes with one of my favorite foods. As I left the coffee shop I thought to myself about all the ways that I could use coffee into making delicious entrees. Immediately coffee cake came to my mind but I wanted to make dishes that were more versatile and on a wider spectrum than just cake. Soon I was in the kitchen cooking up a storm from drinks to meats and so I decided to share these wonderful recipes with other coffee lovers such as myself.
The first time you try to incorporate coffee into a dip or on your steak then you will understand the versatility of coffee and its endless possibilities to add flavor to just about any dish. You can add coffee to soups or even make a simple rub for your meats. This cookbook will certainly make you rethink just making brewed coffee again. So go ahead put your chef hats on (even if you are a novice) and get cooking. Enjoy the burst of flavor coffee has to offer and who knows you may even come up with a few ideas of your own.
