Butterscotch-Glazed Coffee Shortbread Bars

Chocolate & Pistachio Biscotti

Go to Recipe

At Sona restaurant in Los Angeles and its one-year-old offshoot, Boule pâtisserie, pastry chef Michelle Myers presents exotic desserts that combine her training in graphic design with her fascination for Asian and Latin flavors (wasabi, rose water, habanero). Here, she makes a more traditional but still visually surprising cookie—the crispiest, crunchiest, most chocolaty biscotti studded with bright green pistachios.

Risotto with Capers and Espresso

Go to Recipe

Massimiliano Alajmo is fascinated with powders. He sometimes uses them in risotto, a specialty at his Michelin three-starred restaurant, Le Calandre. His trick for risotto is to stir in a little reserved hot stock at the end, a technique that keeps the rice from getting too gummy. Here, Alajmo infuses the stock with espresso beans, then garnishes the risotto with pungent capers. Then he sprinkles the dish with ground espresso beans to intensify the coffee flavor, though they add a slight graininess.

Bananas in Coffee Bean Syrup

Go to Recipe

Every morning in Nha Trang, Marcia Kiesel topped yogurt with these bananas steeped in warm, bittersweet coffee syrup; they're also delicious over vanilla ice cream for dessert. Make sure the bananas you choose for this recipe are ripe but still firm, so they don't get mushy.

Slow-Smoked Turkey with Cane Syrup-Coffee Glaze

If you have a grill with a lid and a bag of hickory chips you can smoke a turkey. Braising the bird first in a mix of coffee, apple cider vinegar and cane syrup or brown sugar results in marvelously complex flavors—sweet, bitter and herbaceous.

Bittersweet Chocolate Tart with Coffee Mascarpone Cream

Credit: © Anna Williams
Go to Recipe

The winning Italian combination of chocolate, mascarpone and coffee in tiramisù inspired this silky tart from French-born François Payard of Manhattan's Payard Patisserie & Bistro. An Italian pastry chef taught Payard that mascarpone can be whipped like cream. Another revelation: "The Italians use mascarpone the way the French use butter." Here, Payard pays homage to Italian ingredients, but with his ever-present French technique.

Pots de Crème with Chocolate, Chile and Espresso

Go to Recipe

Some chefs will do anything to get customers to try something they believe in. Alison Barshak, from Alison at Blue Bell, in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, will send out her chocolate pot de crème to any diner who doubts that the combination of spicy dried chiles and chocolate is incredibly delicious. When the customers come back, invariably they need no encouragement to order the dish.
