Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Don't let the cover of Claudia Roden's little book Coffee: A Connoisseur's Companion put you off. Inside is a veritable treasure of interesting stories, anecdotes and facts about coffee--all beautifully illustrated with lovely ink and colour drawings by Murray Zanoni. First published in the early 1980s, Roden offers a scholarly yet entertaining look at the history of coffee. From its exotic beginnings in Africa and Arabia, coffee swept through Europe and the Americas in he 17th century, profoundly changing patterns of life as it went. Although it suffered religious persecution, social prejudice and fierce political opposition, coffee reigned supreme and was soon being grown in prodigious quantities around the world. Roden explains the labour-intensive processes of growing coffee and preparing the beans, provides an invaluable guide to the quality beans of the world and dispenses expert advice on all the steps of coffee preparation, from buying to brewing. The final section is devoted to recipes: heart-warming coffee punches, refreshing iced coffee and frothy frappés, as well as delicious coffee cakes and desserts.

Review
If you believe that coffee is one of life's great pleasures you will get much enjoyment from Roden's book. She tells the story of coffee, its origins and its place in history in the controversial coffee houses of Europe. She offers expert advice on buying and storing coffee, and on roasting, grinding and brewing. There is a particularly interesting A-Z Guide to the different types of coffee from their country of origin. Coffee connoisseurs rejoice. (Kirkus UK)
