The redolent flavors of coffee and chocolate
sweetly complement each other in this stimulating selection of
desserts, hot beverages, and cocktails. Mocha
begins with a brief history of the cacao bean and the coffee bean,
tracing the mocha migration from South America and Africa to the
trading ports of Europe (with a special nod to Renaissance Italy, where
the hot drink bicerin was born). It then offers 50 indulgent recipes
that are easy to make, complex to the palate, and sure to seduce both
coffee devotees and dedicated chocoholics.
