There is a huge range of coffee beans available, all with different flavours and qualities. This means that there is a coffee out there for everybody, and 'Coffee & Bites' aims to help you find it. 'Coffee & Bites' features a selection of delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes, both savoury and sweet, designed to complement the comforting and welcoming aroma of coffee.

It is primarily directed at trainee baristas and barista trainers. This resource is also an essential tool for those already working in and/or those wishing to join the hospitality industry: teachers, high-school students, cafe owners and employees and all those interested in espresso coffee who want to know more about what is involved in extracting the 'perfect espresso'. Barista Techniques is intended to complement any training course in preparing and serving espresso coffee using commercial coffee equipment. While it can be used as a stand-alone resource, readers will gain maximum benefit if they are involved in or have completed a coffee training program.

"An illustrated lifestyle cookbook on the Swedish tradition of fika -- a twice-daily coffee break -- including recipes for traditional baked goods, information and anecdotes about Swedish coffee culture, and the roots and modern incarnations of this cherished custom. Sweden is one of the world's top coffee consuming nations, and the social coffee break known as fika is a cultural institution. A time to take a rest from work and chat with friends or colleagues over a cup and a sweet treat, fika is part of the national identity and a marker of the Swedish ideal of taking time to appreciate life's small joys. Fika can be had alone or in groups, indoors or outdoors, while traveling or while at home, and Fika is full of inspiration to elevate these daily coffee breaks. In this adorable and illustrated cookbook, Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall share more than 45 classic recipes from their motherland--from cinnamon buns and ginger snaps to rhubarb cordial and rye bread--while also examining what fika means to Swedes and how we can all integrate its values into our daily lives."
