Author: Yumi Koseki
Amid the British confectionery boom, the carrot cake has become just as popular as the scone. It has long been a staple in the UK, beloved in tea houses and homes alike, and in recent years, it has gained immense popularity in Japan as well.
While there is an American style of carrot cake, this book focuses on "Carrot Cakes that Pair Perfectly with Tea," based on the British tradition. The commentary is provided by Yumi Koseki, an expert on British culture. Following her previous book, "I Love Scones!" (Seibundo Shinkosha), which introduced the cultural background of British sweets and how to enjoy scones, she now turns her focus to the carrot cake. From its historical origins to the latest trends in the UK, you will discover the fascinating world of this dessert.
The recipes featured in this book are provided by popular shops and sought-after cooking classes that specialize in making British-style carrot cakes. Each recipe is packed with meticulous attention to detail and secret tips for delicious results. From carefully selected ingredients and the best way to grate carrots to the crucial spice blends—you will find insightful combinations, techniques, and the professional expertise of these creators shared generously. Carrot cakes often sell out at these popular shops, so why not use this book as a guide to bake your own at home?
