Could anyone recommend a "Great" recipe book with authentic recipes? I have three different books with three different recipes. I'm opening a mobile specialty coffee truck. I am looking for great recipes that will have my customers saying, "That's better than _________!" :grin:
So, I decided to go to a local espresso shop to check out my competition. I ordered a cappuccino & my husband ordered a latte. The Barista pulled a carafe out of the refrigerator & started to pour the dark brown liquid into the frothing pitcher. I said "what are you doing?" she said, "We make our espresso ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator!" I said, "I would like it made fresh!" To which she replied, OK.
She started to make the espresso, when my husband called me over. He had a better vantage point than I. He said, "Did you see what she did?" I replied, "I couldn't see from where I was." He said, "She did not use any shot glasses. She ran the espresso into the drip tray and then drained the tray into the milk." At that point I exclaimed, "You didn't use a shot glass!" She replied, "That is how it's done!" :shock: I said, "We don't want anything!" :roll:
