A friend has generously lent me her copy of this lovely new cookery book Okashi Treats: Sweet Treats Made With Love by Keiko Ishida which she picked up on a recent trip to New Zealand and Australia. According to Amazon it should be available in the UK in December. The recipes are for that particular French-Japanese patisserie style, so there are recipes for things such as chiffon cake and mont blanc, and Japanese twists on French classics like cream puffs filled with a green tea and black sesame pastry cream. It’s so exciting to see all these recipes if you are a fan of this style! There is a special section with a few recipes that are gluten free or sugar free plus also a section right at the back on baking for pets. I shall certainly be buying this when it comes out over here.

      Yes it is! Sesame chiffon cake. I can’t wait to get a copy of my own.
