Book Mochi mochis, 40 Japanese sweets ⋅ Editions de la Martinière

Discover the secrets of making mochi, the traditional Japanese pastry par excellence, naturally gluten-free. Dangos with salted butter caramel, Gyuhi with Earl Grey tea, Daifukus with rose, Nerikiris with matcha tea or coco-yuzu... Mathilda Motte is a designer and culinary stylist with a dual background in history and art history. In April 2011, she moved to Japan and discovered her passion for Japanese cuisine and patisserie. She then created her blog "Cuisine en bandoulière", where she proposes simple, creative cuisine, where Japanese influences are combined with Western tastes and forms. Back in France, she in turn adapted Japanese recipes to local ingredients, creating a cuisine métissée deeply rooted in the terroir. She opened "La maison du mochi" in Paris. The choice between publishing and embroidery was not an easy one. After ten years in publishing, Audrey Demarre decided to devote herself to the art of thread and, unknowingly, follow in the footsteps of her seamstress grandmother. Her creations are like stories, woven with the thread of a needle. Universes sewn from the heart, telling the story of a poetic and personal world. This fairy-fingered woman combines colorful embroidery with delicate illustrations. Japan is a particular source of inspiration, enabling her to create delicate embroideries for pastries.
