Nigel Slater
“Tempura of orange pumpkin brought still crackling from the kitchen; slices of yellowtail sashimi in a puddle of sesame sauce; grilled bamboo shoots on a wooden skewer and a dish of rice porridge. There is grilled cod's roe with a pin's point of fresh wasabi, pickled butterbur buds and the earliest fiddlehead fern, simmered in dashi broth and curled up like a caterpillar. A pale-blue dish is filled with mustard greens and ground sesame.
As the light lifts, the room fills with weak and watery sunshine and I am brought a bowl of suitably pale miso broth with matchsticks of dried nori and balls of chewy white mochi. As I lay down my chopsticks a pudding appears of green-tea blancmange with two rust-red goji berries. Dessert for breakfast is something I can get on top of.”
Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts

“The warm, earthy scent of green tea and something deliciously sweet enveloped her. Honey cakes and lavender shortbread lined the glass display next to the till. The teashop’s interior was even more charming than the exterior suggested: mismatched chairs clustered around small round tables, fairy lights strung along exposed wooden beams, shelves lined with an impressive collection of teapots in every imaginable shape and size and vintage Japanese posters.”
Natasha Bache, The Magical Matcha Teashop
