DAZZLE AND DELIGHT LOVED ONES THIS FESTIVE SEASON WITH GOURMET NESPRESSO COFFEE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
With Chinese New Year being the season of reunions and house visitors, why not serve up some coffee beverages they will receive with delight and remember all year long.
In a special Chinese New Year collaboration, Nespresso team up with Chef Alvin Leung (aka the Demon Chef) to create some delicious all-new gourmet Nespresso coffee moments. These coffee recipes are designed to excite, surprise and delight coffee lovers and combine some of the best selling Nespresso Grands Crus from the full range of 22 available capsule selection.
Chef Alvin Leung x Nespresso recipes include:-
- CNY Candy Box Coffee Affogato with Rosabaya de Colombia,
- Almond Flavoured Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly with NEW Decaf Arpeggio,
- Salty Peanut Caramel with Taro, Coffee Milkshake with Ristretto,
- Passion Fruit Caramel Coffee Martini with Caramelito.
We recently took part in a private Nespresso Coffee Creation Workshop and tried our hand at some of these recipes created by Chef Alvin Leung. We were surprised just how simple, beautiful and delicious these creations can be. One of our favourites from the selection was the Salty Peanut Caramel creation using our favourite Ristretto, this sweet but salty beverage is a wickedly rich treat to tantalise the tastebuds!
Club Members can receive Chef Alvin Leung’s Nespresso Coffee Moments for Chinese New Year recipe booklet free of charge with ay purchase of the Nespresso Limited Edition 6 sleeve assortment pack (while stocks last).
One of the recipes we re-created was Chef Alvin Leung’s CNY Candy Box Coffee Affogato creation. This recipe uses the subtle acidity and red fruit notes of Nespresso’s Rosabaya de Colombia Grand Cru. Try this recipe at home:-

Comments 1
If your hose is too short, or you want a longer power cable, you can probably
get replacements, rather than having to buy a new cleaner.
Although the low price of many steam cleaners may seem enticing, it
is important to consider the quality of the machine. Try to
find brands which are highly regarded, instead of the higher-end models which will cause you to spend a fortune.
