Tea at the Stove is a book written by Pietro Semino, collecting more than 100 cult recipes and pairings, from appetizer to dessert, having tea as the main ingredient.
What does Tea at the Stove tell us ?
We all drink tea. Cold, hot, with milk or lemon, in bulk or sachet. What else is there to know about the world’s most popular drink? This book tells us a story that comes from afar. Each variety has its own properties and taste, and requires different preparation. But there’s more: tea has now moved out of the old bakeries and into the world’s most emblazoned kitchens as a novel ingredient in sweet and savory recipes. Experimented at the stove, tasted in a cup or drunk in original substitutions for wine or water (such as U.S.-crafted cocktail-infusions or drunk as an alternative to a meditation brandy), to learn about tea is to embark on a journey of taste and memory. In the spirit of creativity, the book will guide the appreciator to a new good taste through types, benefits, names and words of tea, preparations and recipes from appetizer to dessert. Must try.
