Cooking Games and Coffee

It’s simply amazing how much of a role coffee plays in cooking games. When you’re having fun in the kitchen, it’s somehow just totally natural to invite your friends to sit down for coffee while you putter around with the final elements of a cake or while you put the icing on the cookies or cupcakes. Cooking games are outstanding to play with a glass of wine or even a few cans of soda, but coffee has a special appeal because there are so many cooking games that you can play with the drink itself.

There is a lot more to coffee than basic black. The source of caffeine is delicious, of course, and drinking a cup of coffee makes it easier to stay away on a long night, but there are many other ways to enjoy some coffee as well. It’s pointless to have coffee cake without coffee. You can’t enjoy shortbread properly without coffee (or perhaps tea) as well. What’s the best thing to flavor rich ice cream? Why coffee, of course! For a basic drink, it’s simply astounding how much it influences all of our cooking games.
