The concept of fusion in food can be magical--when cuisines and cultures
collide, combining flavors, ingredients, and methods from around the
world creates new classics, the best of which become staples in our
everyday lives. 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. Tokyo is now considered
a food-forward city, currently boasting 15 three Michelin-starred
restaurants (compared to France's 10). 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, from reinvented classics
to stunning Patisserie creations made achievable to the home-cook. The
chapters will be broken into Small Cakes & Individual Patisserie, which
will include Lemon & Yuzu Éclairs. Sweet Tarts will offer 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
chocolate candy bar. To finish, some mouth-watering savory recipes such
as Panko Donuts stuffed with Pork Katsu. A flavor matrix will helpfully
map key characteristics of Japanese ingredients.
