Product Description
Product Description
In "Caffe Italia", Italian cooking expert Liz Franklin offers over 30 delicious recipes inspired by Italy's coffee bars. Liz introduces you to the best way to brew coffee at home, and lists Italian coffee from espresso to caffe freddo. Her recipes start with Cookies and Biscotti, including Baci di Dama (almond biscuits with chocolate butter filling) and Toasted Hazelnut Florentines. Little Tarts are perfect with a long coffee. Try Bocconotti (chocolate and almond cakes) or Crostatine di Frutta di Bosco (woodland fruit tartlets). Big Tarts and Cakes include Torta di Mandorle e Pistachio (almond and pistachio cake) and Crostata di Pere e Cioccolato (chocolate and pear tart) - a great dessert. Finally, Liz's Savouries are perfect for a light meal. Try Salatini con Ricotta e Spinaci (ricotta and spinach rolls) or Piadine con Ruccola, Taleggio e Pesto (rocket and taleggio flatbreads).

Caffé Italia
This is a super little book with truly authentic recipes for little bites to have with your morning or afternoon coffee. There is a concise but informative introduction on Italian coffee culture & etiquette, making coffee at home and a very good description of what exactly different coffee types, such as caffé lungo, caffé macchiato & so forth actually consist of. Then there are recipe sections on:
A) cookies & biscotti
B) little pastries
C) cakes & tarts
D) savoury tarts
So far I have made Tuscan soft almond cookies (Ricciarelli) absolutely delicious, & almond & pistachio cake (torta alle mandorle e pistacchi) moist & moreish. I have been transported back to bustling Florence & the Amalfi coast in my own home. If you love coffee or own a coffee machine this book is for you.

This book is a classic.
Photography is excellent throughout and recipes are both easy to follow and more importantly WORK.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking to produce some fantastic home baked biscuits and deserts.
You won't be disappointed.
