Cooking With Coffee! Coffee, don’t just drink it! Every country has their own unique flavors. Every degree of roasting, from light to darkest French roast, creates a new taste experience. Good coffee is like good wine. Savor the bouquet and unique body and flavors. If you drink coffee and you haven't embarked on your own journey you are missing out on a wonderful experience. You owe it to your self to start today. A natural result of my love for gourmet coffee was using it as an ingredient in cooking. Coffee's rich, smoky flavors can enhance all manner of dishes. Coffee flavoring is distinctive in most dessert recipes, but when adding to meat dishes, it tends to bring out the meat flavor without an overpowering coffee flavor. Try some of these coffee recipes to perk up your home cooking. The coffee in these recipes may be in brewed, whole bean or granulated form so be sure to read the recipe thoroughly before beginning to be sure you have the proper ingredients.
