The Marley Coffee Cookbook is absolutely perfect for lovers of coffee. The entire book is full of coffee-infused cuisine, including dishes like Curry and Coffee Braised Lamb, and Radish and Strawberry Salad with Coffee Vinaigrette. The authors are Rohan Marley (son of Bob Marley), owner of Marley Coffee, an international coffee company, and Chef Maxcel Hardy III. Their collaboration has produced some fantastic recipes. The two men originally come from Jamaica and the Bahamas, thus island-inspired cuisine naturally shows up in recipes like Jamaican Berry Coffee Compote and Coffee-Infused Fish Chowder.
Basic recipes like a coffee spice blend can be added to many dishes. With easy-to-follow instructions, as well as lots of pictures of Marley and Hardy cooking, The Marley Coffee Cookbook is a fun, lively cookbook that expands the opportunity for caffeine addiction. --Jessica Howard, bookseller at Bookmans, Tucson, Ariz.
