Coffee is a rite, a habit, a cultural consumption that varies from country to country (if not region to region). Analysing the central role coffee plays in people’s social life requires close investigation into the customs and uses that have developed in the West over the centuries.
Throughout the years, in different countries, the types of elaborations and developments in culinary arts have resulted in coffee being the subject of various experiments, not just as a beverage, but as a central element of cooking, in constant dialogue with the evolution of taste and the renewal of the very idea of nutrition.
