Tips on Coffee - The Book of Coffee (#)
„by Alain Stella (Author) Associated PressSure to perk up the coffee connoisseur is "The Book of Coffee." Language NotesText: English (translation)Original Language: French About the AuthorAlain Stella is a writer who divides his time between France and Egypt where coffee is an institution which has become a way of life. His mother, who is originally from Turkey, introduced him to the birthplace of coffee, the East, and in particular to that special concoction known as Turkish coffee. Fascinated by the way that such everday pleasures have shaped whole civilizations, Alain Stella is a contributor to the companion volume, The Book of Tea, also published by Flammarion.Book DescriptionHow many of us appreciate the extent to which coffee, first popularized during the fifteenth century, has changed the world?Coffee has circled the globe and is now consumed by billions of people who value it for the extraordinary benefits it bestows: its delicious flavors and frangrances, of course; plus its virtues as a physical and mental stimulant; and, above all, its admirable ability to inspire conviviality. From Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, coffee warms the soul and brings people together.Discovered in a remote corner of Abyssinia, coffee has its roots in a land where genies appear from magic lamps, and where seers use it to foretell the future.“

„I think I get it. Quite confusing, especially since in "Allo allo" (the TV series) they use the word cafe the same way as we do (but they're supposed to be French of course, not English )So in the UK a cafe is not a pub, but rather some kind of snack bar or coffee house (I won't use the word cofee shop here, because that indeed has quite a diffrent meaning in the Netherlands ) ?And hi fari. I'm looking forward to see what story it's going to be “

„The stories he provides are the highlight for me: the apprentice spook with the chicken boning machine, his incidents with learning the English language (e.g. the story of the word in French for shower when asked why his head was wet), the presentation of "sanitary napkins", his TV pilot shot with ingredients from the trash, etc. These all provide for just an absolutely magnficent read.“

„A sign near the door gives you an idea of what to expect: "The original French Market coffee stand serving cafe au lait and hot beignets 24 hours a day year round." The cafe has been in operation since the 1860s, perched at one end of the venerable French Market, the end which is closest to lovely Jackson Square, the historic heart and sweet soul of the French Quarter. An indoor-outdoor space, the cafe is quintessential New Orleans: tall pillars graced by green and white-striped awnings which flap in the light breeze (as well as during sudden downpours) go hand-in-hand with shiny black ceiling fans whirring softly over a sea of tables and chairs. People laugh and smile and joke here all at once.“
