Coffee pairings are getting to be a major trend. Thanks to the increased availability of high-end coffee and chocolates, you can go beyond classic coffee pairings with the decedent combination of coffee and chocolate (with or without cooking up a storm). As robustly flavorful, mood-altering substances, it's no wonder that coffee and chocolate are so popular around the world. In many cases, they pair fantastic together. But there are many other wonderful pairings for coffee. From breakfast to dessert, coffee is a delicious drink to sip with food.
FRUIT PAIRINGS- fresh fruits and fruit based sweets can offer a lighter, healthier options for some coffees. Just be careful not to overdo the sour tones in the pairing.
Berries: Kenyan and Haitian coffees are great with any berries, but Yemeni and Jamaican coffees are even better.
Stone fruit: Fresh or baked are delicious with Tanzanian or Haitian.
Tarts are a well match for a nice medium bodied Brazilian.
BREAKFAST FOODS- Light balanced flavors of most Central American coffees are ideal for many breakfast foods, including: crepes, eggs, bacon, omelets with mushrooms or Quiche.
MEATS: its pretty much straight forward, whatever coffee you cook with you should drink the same one.
In these difficult economic times, coffee pairings are an interesting different thing chefs can do to entice diners to come out for something new without breaking the bank, also many coffee houses are doing great things with coffee and food pairings. So get out to your local favorite spot and see what they have in store.
