In 2013, Jozua Jaring opened restaurant Ratatouille Food & Wine on the Spaarne Haarlem. The restaurant soon received high praise: a year after its launch, it was awarded a MICHELIN star and a score of 16/20 from Gault&Millau. Jaring has succeeded in nurturing this recognition ever since, thanks to surprising combinations and powerful flavours. Usually with the help of everyday ingredients that individually lack any surprising or strong flavour. However, the crux is in the combination of flavours: ‘Some ingredients could use a kick’, confirms the chef: ‘Coffee is ideally suited for that’.
Let Joshua explain how coffee can be a special seasoning. Always using Lavazza coffee, naturally. Joshua is a cooking ambassador for Lavazza and a lover of cooking with coffee. And not in the most obvious way. ‘Desserts with coffee, like tiramisu, we all know that,’ he says. ‘But what many people don't know is that coffee is wonderful used in savoury preparations. A coffee crunch with a piece of turbot: you don't know what you taste! I often use coffee in sauces, dressings and so on. It is a flavour enhancer, an umami bomb, a kitchen secret.’
‘Ingredients with flat flavours can be ‘spiced up’ with coffee, so to speak. Cauliflower, for example, pairs beautifully with an espresso. Or foie gras with turbot, where a coffee extract gives that little extra umami - the fifth flavour after sweet, sour, salty and bitter. With the addition of coffee, the wow effect is never far away’.
