Coffee is an integral part of our daily lives, but apart from the occasional caffeinated pastry or decadent affogato, this ubiquitous ingredient hardly ever features in our food. Nespresso Gourmet Weeks is hoping to change that.
First launched in 2012, the initiative has challenged some of the world s top chefs in Switzerland, Austria and Russia to use coffee as a spice to flavour their culinary creations, in the process turning diners preconceived notions of coffee on their head.
Now, Nespresso Gourmet Weeks has touched down in Hong Kong for the first time, demonstrating the full culinary range of Nespresso Professional s Origins collection. To this end, Nespresso has partnered with eight of the city s leading chefs to showcase the possibilities of coffee-forward fine dining, across everything from Nordic-Japanese and Indian cooking, to contemporary Latin American and French-Cantonese.
