World Coffee Day is celebrated around the world on the 29th of September and is used as great excuse for everyone in the industry to promote Fair Trade coffee and to raise awareness of the plight of coffee growers around the world, a plight that has been particularly hard for the millions of growers in Central and South America who have been affected by La Roya, a coffee fungus that has devastated thousands of farms and families and caused an economic damage of over one billion pounds since it hit in 2012.

As if producers didn’t have enough challenges already by having to face the inequalities of the incredibly competitive and complex coffee market, and suffering the effects of climate change; La Roya has been the final stroke that has forced many growers to sadly give up on a traditional source of income (and art form!) of many generations. Nonetheless, it gives me hope to know that many of the cooperatives that I have had the pleasure of being involved with over the years, have taken it in their stride, and are working hard to support their members in the introduction of new coffee varieties that are resistant to La Roya. I take my hat of to them and sincerely hope that their businesses will become more resilient as a result.

But back to coffee… coffee is what makes the world go round right? And although it’s sensational just on its own as a drink, there are many scrumptious recipes that include it, and Tiramisu is probably one of the most famous ones. This coffee flavoured Italian dessert (which quite appropriately means ‘pick me up’ or lift me up’!) is super easy to make and although it’s a bit rich… if you have a good excuse for the extra calories…you absolutely must go for it.

It’s made from ladyfinger biscuits which are soaked in coffee and amaretto and then layered with raspberries and a combination of a sort of custard, double cream and mascarpone cheese (this is what I mean about the richness!), and if you use, like I did, a transparent cup or glass (or many mismatched ones like I did!) they can be quite beautiful to bring out at the end of a meal.

For this recipe I used this amazing 360 Reserva de Puerto Rico coffee from Sea Island Coffee, which is an fantastic company that specializes in rare and exotic coffees. They source super special single origins from, off-the-beaten track places, whose volumes are often limited to a very small annual production, allowing for strict quality control and strong sustainable and environmental practices. They believe that coffee can only be considered great if it is grown with respect for people and planet and many of the single estates and co-operatives from which they source, are organic and fair trade certified, and others are working with Rainforest Alliance and Utz. If you are a coffee enthusiast with a discerning palate you must visit their page and try their incredible blends!

So, here goes this super easy recipe for an Italian Raspberry and Amaretto Tiramisu:

Coffee prices skyrocket as fungus kills high-end beans....

If you’ve noticed the cost of a cup of coffee at your local shop has been inching up lately, it’s because a fungus has decimated Central America’s Arabica bean crop. Now the US is stepping in to try to eliminate the deadly coffee rust fungus.

Leaf rust, or la roya in Spanish, is a yellow- and orange-colored, plant-choking fungus that has devastated coffee crops from Peru to Mexico over the past…
