I got mine from a Japanese friend, and in Edinburgh it was available at Harvey Nichols, for instance..<BR/><BR/>Anne - I remember you didn't like matcha panna cotta:) But then Keiko's version sounds so delicious, that I'll probably give it a try anyway!<BR/><BR/>Lydia - keen to hear what you'll be making!!<BR/><BR/>Bea - thanks! It means a lot coming from you.<BR/><BR/>Veron - yes, matcha cupcakes/muffins would be cool! I need to find some cocoa nibs though!<BR/><BR/>Joey - hope you'll find some matcha!<BR/><BR/>K&S - I had some lovely matcha ice cream at a small Japanese restaurant just before leaving Edinburgh, so maybe that?<BR/><BR/>Rob - I didn't want to add too much matcha first time, as it can be a bit bitter. I'll try a bit more this time:)<BR/><BR/>Nicky - I bought those from Lakeland Limited in the UK - they also come in round shapes, perfect for springforms:) They are truly handy indeed, though not essential..Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-46872528607938469942007-02-08T10:43:00.000+02:002007-02-08T10:43:00.000+02:00Hi Pille,A subtle matcha flavor is exactly what I'...Hi Pille,<BR/>A subtle matcha flavor is exactly what I'm looking for ;) I'm curious about the preshaped (parchment) paper you used for the cake - looks very practical!

This loaf looks delicious. Your result isn't too surprising, I guess, given just how subtle the taste of green tea is. I think you should definitely try it with some pistachios -- I think they will add both taste and a great crunchy texture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1681078907562631492007-02-06T18:54:00.000+02:002007-02-06T18:54:00.000+02:00very nice loaf! can't wait to see what other match...very nice loaf! can't wait to see what other matcha creations you'll come up with.K and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-84674825682137849662007-02-06T18:36:00.000+02:002007-02-06T18:36:00.000+02:00Lovely looking loaf Pille!

Beware of the matcha pannacotta. :) I tried it - and well, it might have been that I was just not that into matcha. Good thing I served it with lots of chocolate sauce :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-2668819933013397012007-02-06T09:05:00.000+02:002007-02-06T09:05:00.000+02:00Looks very tasty!
