Hello

Welcome to Yet Another Cooking Blog.

As you may have guessed, this is a blog about cooking - in particular my cooking. It has been mentioned to me several times that I seem a little obsessed with food, so I have decided to blog about my menus, my successes, my failures and anything else that springs to mind

Coffee - the new food group

Terry Pratchett postulated that there was an additional food group on top of the commonly known ones - his was burnt crunchy bits.  I believe there is a food group he ignored - coffee.

Coffee is what gets me moving in the mornings.  Without it I'm slower than a sloth on a lazy day. My morning cappuccino gives me a dose of calcium alongside its coffee goodness, my iced mocha when I'm out and about refreshes and hydrates.

But - and this is a big but - I have a problem also with coffee.  I don't like coffee flavoured things. A bag of revels is truly like the game of russian roulette seen on the TV advert.  Chocolate covered coffee beans make me wince.  Coffee syrup - bleh.  Coffee liquer - double bleh.  The only dessert (that I can think of) that I enjoy that has coffee flavour is tiramisu, and I'm sure that is because basically the base is soaked in real espresso.

So, for all you dieticians out there -

DON'T FORGET THE NEW FOOD GROUP!!

    Coffee has always been a food group to me. You don't even want to talk to me before I have coffee. And I am not fond of coffee in other foods either, except for chocolate, then it is yummy! Thanks for the smile!! :)

    I agree, Coffee should be added to any diet! My morning coffee gets all the work done for me, so does my newly introduced afternoon Turkish Coffee...
