Thought for Food

The Gourmet Sleuth has done a little detecting and dug up clues to solving the mysteries of Starbucks recipes. (I’m sure there’s a couple of jokes embedded in that phrase.) Among the links are recipes for these standard beverages plus some that I’ve not seen in Starbucks around here.

There are also some pastry recipes. Again, Starbucks in this area have pastry supplied by a local bakery, so I’m not sure what constitutes a “Starbucks” pastry.

• Java Chip Frappucino
• Mocha Frappucino
• Double-Strength Coffee
• Frappuccino (Starbucks Clone)
• Recipe(tried): Starbuck's Frappuccino
