The World’s Finest traces the early history of coffee and takes readers through the history of coffee planting in colonial Jamaica to modern day growing and harvesting techniques. The old plantation houses are featured, as are the traditional and modern roasting and brewing techniques. In the recipe section, the author’s culinary talent is accessible to even the novice chef. With recipes for hot and cold coffee drinks, desserts, sweets, sauces and even main courses, coffee lovers will appreciate why this is so much more than a coffee table book.
Lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned photographs, maps and prints of the coffee cultivation process from the planting of the seed to the final export of the bean, coffee connoisseurs and the general reader alike will delight in this enthralling and enlightening book.
