Ma Petite Boulangerie Japonaise

Riding the craze for Japanese cheesecakes in Paris and Toulouse, Takumi Boulangerie merges Japanese artistry with French tradition, offering a range of exquisite and imaginative pastries. Taking its name from a Japanese word for artisans who have devoted their lives to their craft, the Takumi team divides their first book into six sections: Breads, brioche and viennoiserie, including sandwiches Core pastry recipes Gateaux Individual pastries Cookies, petit fours, and other small treats Beverages Certain flavors predominate: yuzu, matcha, chocolate (Valrhona strongly preferred), raspberry, black sesame, and vanilla. The iconic shokupan, a form of pan de mie, is here, along with black sesame pain au chocolat, doroyaki sandwich pastries, a matcha version of opera cake, and yuzu madeleines. Hardcover.
