Jacques Pepin's secret ingredient: Peet's Coffee! ((recipes))((food))

From KQED, San Francisco:

"To celebrate Jacques Pépin's new series, KQED and Peet's Coffee & Tea brewed up a recipe contest featured on Facebook, the social networking site. The contestants submitted their favorite recipes that featured Peet's coffee as an ingredient and the winners received two pounds of Peet's coffee, a shiny new coffee grinder from Cuisinart, and an autographed copy of Jacques' most recent cookbook, Jacques Pépin: More Fast Food My Way."

Peet’s Coffee, if you don’t know by know, is my absolute favorite coffee. Beans are roasted daily, and if you mail order, they’re shipped the next day! Just discovered this fine recipe today, so I’ve not tried it. Let me know if you do. You can look up the recipe at this link: http://www.kqed.org/w/morefastfoodmyway/recipes.html#facebook. Or just grab it here!  ;-)
