Japanese Patisserie: Exploring the beautiful and delicious fusion of East meets West

By James Campbell

Stunning recipes for patisserie, desserts, and savories with a CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE TWIST.

This elegant collection is aimed at the confident home-cook who has an interest in using ingredients such as yuzu, sesame, miso, and matcha and features 60 recipes, from reinvented classics to stunning patisserie creations made achievable to the home-cook.

Trends like Japanese Matcha in our lattes, Korean kimchi in our burgers and Thai Sriracha hot sauce on--well everything--prove that our love-in with Asian cuisine is thriving. Over the past 20 years there has been a surge in celebrated French patisserie chefs moving to Japan to open fine patisseries. The art of French patisserie appeals very much to the Japanese culture--both share values of beauty, precision, and care within cooking. This book features 60 recipes made achievable to the home-cook. The chapters are broken into Small Cakes & Individual Patisserie, which includes Lemon & Yuzu clairs. Sweet Tarts offers delights such as Miso Butterscotch Tarts and the Large Cakes & Gateaux section offers celebration cakes like a Matcha & Pistachio Opera. In the Desserts section find dinner party classics with Japanese twists such as White Sesame & Adzuki Cheesecake. The Cookies & Confectionery chapter is full of fun treats like Sesame Peanut Butter Cookies and a Green Tea Kit Kat. To finish, some mouth-watering savory recipes such as Panko Doughnuts stuffed with Pork Katsu. A flavor matrix will helpfully map key characteristics of Japanese ingredients.
