Amazon.com: Books: Chocolate: From Simple Cookies to Extravagant Showstoppers (#)
„Food photographer Tom Eckerle's contributions to Chocolate are exquisite, capturing every chocolate grain and nuance of shade, but Malgieri's scholarship, depth and leadership qualities make Chocolate a must-have-on the counter, not the shelf. (It's a handsome volume but, go ahead, stain it.) The cakes section alone is book length: first explaining in detail basic methods for producing cake layers for chocolate cakes, using genoise and sponge cake rounds and sheets, then moving into scores of meticulously delineated examples of plain cakes ("Chocolate Sour Cream Cake"), single-layer cakes ("Vermont Farmhouse Devil's Food Cake"), rolled cakes ("Swiss Roll," and the "Traditional Bûche de Noël" or "Yule Log"), layer cakes ("Chocolate Chestnut Cake"), meringue cakes ("Chocolate Pavlova"), molded cakes ("Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake"), cakes in bowls ("Chocolate and Vanilla Trifle"), and individual cakes ("Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with Boiled Icing"). Malgieri goes on to give equal depth to cookies, creams, mousses, custards and soufflés, ices and frozen desserts, pies, tarts and pastries, chocolate confections, sauces and beverages, and finally a pair of sections on the demanding subjects of chocolate decorations and showpieces.“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles
„Shade-grown coffee has enjoyed the spotlight only sporadically in certain parts of the United States. One of the main reasons is that shade lacks a worldwide champion like the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) or Fair Trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO), both of which have created widely accepted and enforceable definitions and standards for their certification systems.“

CoffeeGeek - Counter Culture Coffee and Earth Fare Team to Produce Sustainable Coffee Line
„The line, called Earth Fare Trade, features shade-grown, Organic and Fair Trade ™ Certified coffees from select farms around the world. Growing coffee under shade forces coffee to mature more slowly, allowing richer and more complex flavors to develop, and helps protect and preserve natural rainforests and indigenous plants and animals. Producing coffee organically ensures that no harmful pesticides or poisonous chemicals are used, which can be hazardous for the environment and the workers who are in direct contact with the chemicals.“

Tea & Coffee 06/01 - What’s Brewing In Specialty Retail?
„Often, these farms actually have more birds than there are on more densely-shaded farms. It is also possible (and common, Allegro asserts) for coffee to be shade grown but of poor quality, using excessive chemicals, and for the farm’s workers to be vastly underpaid.“

„SHADE-GROWN: Left to nature, coffee bushes grow under a canopy of shade trees in tropical forests. Large, one-crop plantations typically are cleared of shade trees to achieve more efficient planting. These sun-exposed plantations have drawn criticism on many levels -- destruction of the rain forest, increased use of chemicals and so on.“
