I know a lot of people believe that green tea is magical. The arguments for its numerous health benefits are pretty convincing – preventing and fighting cancer, decreasing cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease, clearing up skin, and fighting obesity? Sounds pretty good. So what do you do when you have a packet of powdered green tea, chock full of antioxidants and just waiting to help you lose your winter weight and lower your cholesterol? You use it to make cupcakes, of course. Yes, I’m aware that converting green tea into a baked good does a pretty good job of negating all the positive things it can do for you. I think we all know who’s winning this debate. With cold season in full swing, I wanted these to be as close to a warm, comforting mug of tea as you can get in a cupcake – and honestly, it was so close that after tasting these, I wondered for a minute why I hadn’t just brewed myself a cup of green tea and called it a day.

matcha crepe
If you follow this blog for a while you probably noticed that I’m a little bit obsessed with crêpe cakes. It started sometime last year with a chestnut crêpe cake or mille-crêpes (a thousand crêpes) as they are sometimes called. I liked it the first time so I made another one, a chocolate mille-crêpes with an orange cream and orange caramel. I complete the trilogy today with this Green Tea Mille-Crêpes, but who knows, I might pull a Georges Lucas on you and decide to make three more in the future. I’m not too sure what the obsession is about, the components are pretty simple and consist only of flavored crêpes and lightened pastry cream, but I think it’s the way it’s constructed that turns it into something more than the sum of its parts. Even if you don’t want to make a crêpe cake the green tea crêpes are delicious on their own. I also added Grand-Marnier and some orange zest to the filling, because I believe green tea has an affinity for anything citrusy.
matcha rolls
I was baking a batch of cinnamon rolls yesterday, I made too much dough and I was lazy to make another batch of cinnamon-brown-sugar-raisin mixture for the filling. So I decided to try something new! Matcha powder and sugar. Taste wise I could say it's really something different, I prefer the original. Heh. Still, a good bake worth trying out! In the process.... After!

matcha again
Recipe: matcha green tea shortbread cookies Someone has been doing their snow dances, because we are finally seeing a little winter love over here. Last week it snowed a nice half-foot at the local hill. I knew it was going to snow. You see, every time Kat comes to visit Boulder from Colorado Springs, it snows! of course, the winds were not far behind It mostly cleared up by the time Kat arrived for lunch the next day. we all shared the fried brussels sprouts leaves salad, which was *amazeballs* my shrimp po’ boy Jeremy returned from travel and we spent the weekend driving to and from IKEA, disassembling and reassembling the house, working, and waiting for more snow. while we waited: dramatic cloud formations at sunset a little pink afterglow But it did start snowing this morning on our backcountry ski and it continued to snow all day, dropping a few inches in the neighborhood and more in the mountains. flour, butter, sugar, confectioner’s sugar, egg yolks, matcha green tea powder

Green Tea White Chocolate Chip Cookies | My online diary
Hari Sabtu gue nyoba bikin selai sarikaya, tapi hasilnya belum memuaskan. Udah nyoba 2 resep (yang sebetulnya isinya sama aja, cuma yang satu diaduk pake waterbath yang satu langsung di atas kompor), dan dua-duanya belum sukses. Gue curiga karena gue pake santan kemasan, lebih kental daripada santan asli dan ga gue encerin lagi. Beberapa resep (ditambah saran teman di twitter) bilang kalo seharusnya pake santan asli aja. Baiklah, akan gue inget-inget dan semoga percobaan selanjutnya langsung sukses :) Minggu lalu gue beli green tea powder di Macchaya dan pengen bikin yang berbau green tea lagi supaya bisa ngebandingin sama green tea powder yang dulu. Makin semangat bikin green tea cookies setelah liat postingannya Mamin, dan setelah gue liat resep aslinya ternyata gue udah pernah ngecek resep yang sama tapi belum kesampean untuk nyoba.

Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes
I wanted to make birthday cupcakes for two friends, Sara and Rachel, and I couldn’t decide on regular sized cupcakes or miniatures. Turns out, things worked themselves out, two people meant I could do both. I must be on a lucky streak because this recipe also turned out to be perfectly one tray of regular sized and one tray of miniature sized. (update with smaller recipe portion here) Oh, and absolutely delicious too!

The Pleasure Monger Turns One! « The Pleasure Monger
Slightly more than a year ago, I was pessimistic, tired and really quite despondent as things on the PhD front were nothing short of a catastrophe. M, being the thoughtful, optimistic and patient husband he is, constantly told me to put my chin up, to remember that life is more than the lack of results in my research. He reminded me that we were in a good place, experiencing life overseas, seeing, tasting and cooking things that we might never have encountered if not for our time in London. He encouraged me to keep a diary of these things we came across, an online diary that is The Pleasure Monger today. And so I did. On 14 February 2010, we were at home. I became happier after writing. It’s the 16th February 2011 today. I don’t know how this year is going to pan out. There are simply so many things I want to say to everyone.
