Customer Reviews

Amazing cookbook! Highly recommended.

This is a phenomenal cookbook. The recipes are well thought out and go perfectly with any coffee drink of your choosing. From perfect scones to macaroons to cookies to ice cream, this book has the best that should be offered by any coffee house. I have used a lot of cookbooks and this is one of my favorites of all time. It has helpful photos and the food is so good that I find myself day dreaming about it. If you have happened across this page, get the book! You will not regret it.

Great recipes:)

Yes, this book has many recipes for desserts; not coffee. However, the recipes are wonderful and the pictures are inspiring. The info about coffee at the beginning of the book was very useful to my finance:)

Beautiful book for both the palate and the mind!

If you love coffee, this is going to be a favorite for you! Not only will you get the 'goods' on Starbucks wonderful recipes, but you'll also learn the history of coffee, how to distinguish between different coffee beans, and tons of tips on making great coffee. This coffee cookbook is packed with over 30 mouthwatering recipes for morning, afternoon, and night, and laced with beautiful color pictures to accompany the recipes. Starbucks Passion for Coffee cookbook is a winner for both your palate and your mind. I give it a thumbs up!

Wonderful Recipes

I first bought this book because I was looking for a recipe for biscotti. The recipe is excellent. All the recipes in the book are excellent. You don't need to be a coffee drinker to value this book. The delicious baked items go just as well with a cup a tea. Every recipe I have made from this book is outstanding and I can be assured that they will always come out delicious even when making it the first time for company. Excellent buy and highly recommended!

Great Information on Coffee! Not just a cookbook...

In this book, you will find coffee's fascinating history and lore. Yes, there are recipes, but you will enjoy the illustrations and as you page through the book, you will swear there is a pot of coffee brewing! If you are looking for more recipes to use up mascarpone cheese, there is an interesting recipe for Baked Apples. There is not a drop of coffee in the recipe, but how it would taste with a great Italian roast. Do you love Biscotti, but hate to pay the high price. Well, there is a recipe for Chocolate-Hazelnut Biscotti. Orange-Pecan Pound Cake and Rhubarb Crumble are just a few of the delicious desserts you will find to accompany your coffee. If you are new to making your own coffee, you will appreciate the page after page of brewing options. Do you want to use a press, a drip filter, a cold water brewer, a vacuum pot (as I have only seen once before in The Graham Kerr Cookbook on page 267.) There is also a picture of the coffee cherries which might surprise you as I had never thought about how coffee actually grew. There is also a poem by Peter Altenberg from All About Coffee, 1922. I was also delighted to find a recipe for Panettone on page 51! How often do you find that recipe. So many ways to enjoy coffee, morning, afternoon and night. ~The Rebecca Review
