For Shannon Bennett the creative process begins with a story or an experience, as with this delicate lemon and coffee dessert.
“This delicate lemon sponge is the combination of an unlikely pairing: the bitter notes of an intense
Nespresso coffee, such as Kazaar, with citrusy zest. “The creative process always begins with a story or an experience. In this case, it was inspired by my travels in northern Italy where combining lemon and coffee is commonplace. I’ve served coffee with lemon biscuits, lemon jelly and even limoncello.
“A humble dish, the delicate texture of the sponge is achieved using a simple but effective combination of heat and steam. It’s then paired with a fluffy mousse and two shots of a Nespresso Grand Cru from the intense range to create a most distinctive contrast against the lemon.”
“Much in line with my own philosophy, Nespresso strives for the best quality in the most authentic of ways. When I visited the coffee farms in Brazil, it was amazing to see the sustainable practices and the ways in which Nespresso has mentored the farmers.”
