Food and Wine

With the global popularity of coffee growing apace, Elisabetta Illy--whose family produces the esteemed Illy-brand espresso--pays tribute to this delicious drink. "Aroma of the World" combines a travel journal--with visits to coffee-cultivating countries like Brazil, Ethiopia, and India--with background on coffee origins, preparation, and tasting techniques, as well as its social impact and effect on our health. In addition, leading international chef Gianfranco Vissani offers a selection of exclusive coffee-based recipes, both sweet and savory.
