I’m thrilled to present my first recipe book, a comprehensive resource filled with all the classic, regional and festive recipes I would want to have if I was to starting to learn about British baking.
• Over 50 recipes.
• All recipes in English and Japanese.
• Classic scones, nostalgic roly poly, Bramley apple pie, and seasonal favourites such as Easter hotcross buns and Christmas mince pies.
• Authentic home baking techniques and advice on how to serve.
• Stories and histories of the bakes (in Japanese).
• Masterclass chapter with detailed tips on key techniques.
The recipes are geared towards recreating the delicious flavors of British home baking using ingredients available in Japan - and if they are not generally available, such as UK style marzipan, we have included recipes to show you how to make them yourself from scratch!
Though this is a Japanese book, it was very important to me to have all the recipes in English as well as Japanese. Many of my students are avid bakers who research into recipes in English online, and would find a side-by-side reference like this useful to their studies. In the same way that everything in my classroom and website is bilingual, I also feel it is useful to have the original English text available in the book as a link to the authentic cultural source of the recipes.
The Masterclass section at the back of the book introduces the main techniques of British home baking, such as creaming and rubbing-in, as well as tips on rolling out dough easily and assembling a sandwich cake. Use this section to brush-up your baking skills.
It was a pleasure to write, bake and shoot for the book, and I hope you have as much fun using it as I have had making it!
