Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The author of the very good Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook (LJ 11/15/93) and its follow-up, Pasta Machine Cookbook (LJ 12/94), Lacalamita seems to have become the kitchen appliance authority. With coffee bars popping up everywhere, espresso and coffee drinks have become the latest craze; coffee fanatics will be sure to enjoy his introduction to coffee and to espresso makers and his recipes for various beverages. But this book actually offers more than its title indicates, for Lacalamita is an avid baker?part of the reason for the success of his bread machine book?and he also provides delicious recipes for desserts and sweets, from Cappuccino Gelato to Mocha Truffles, which should appeal even to noncoffee drinkers.

4.0 out of 5 stars My review of the Ultimate Espresso Machine Cookbook, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ULTIMATE ESPRESSO MACHINE COOKBOOK (Hardcover)

Although the book is a little disappointing since it does notinclude any unusual or different espresso beverage recipes there aregreat recipes for desserts! The book is on the expensive side as the pages are high quality with many pictures. If you are looking for other uses for espresso besides beverages this is the book for you!
