NEW TASTES IN GREEN TEA is an original cookbook that ushers
an underappreciated flavor into the kitchen as a beverage and
a cooking ingredient. The range of recipes is startling. Green
Tea Latte, Matcha Smoothie, or Iced Matcha au Lait take "the
greens" in new directions. Mouthwatering recipes for gratin,
quiche, pastas, and desserts will enliven the adventurous cook's
culinary repertoire.
While breaking fresh ground, NEW TASTES IN GREEN TEA also covers
the basics. Author Mutsuko Tokunaga, vice president of the World
Green Tea Association, introduces the reader to the most popular
types of traditional tea, the fine art of brewing a perfect cup,
and the ins and outs of tea lore. Lavish images by two top food
photographers provide the perfect visual accompaniment for making
green tea a part of everyday life.
This book arrives at the perfect time. With the growing awareness
of the health benefits of this popular beverage, and the emergence
of such innovative teas as vanilla hojicha and mango sencha, green
tea is finding a place in more and more households. On the health
front, the beneficial properties are almost too numerous to count.
It is said to restrict the increase of blood cholesterol, control
high blood pressure, lower blood pressure, refresh the body, deter
food poisoning, help prevent cavities, fight viruses, and freshen
skin.
Whether you are looking for a bevy of palate-pleasing drinks or
savory new food recipes, NEW TASTES IN GREEN TEA is a must-have
for anyone seeking to appreciate the versatility and elegant
flavorings of one of the world's most healthful beverages.
