The Healthy Matcha Cookbook
by Miryam Quinn-Doblas, MS, RD (creator of EatGood4Life), to review on Crazy Tea Chick. As someone who collects cookbooks, writes tons of cookbook reviews on her food blog, and happens to be obsessed with tea – this book and I are getting along famously.
In addition to outstanding recipes, which we’ll get to in a moment, the author includes a lot of wonderful information, including:
- The history of Green Tea.
- Matcha health benefits.
- Matcha basics and “grades.”
- Menu Plans
- Resources
- Ingredients that pair beautifully with matcha. There’s even a section on gluten free flours which, as someone who has to eat gluten free, I really appreciate.
The section on which ingredients pair best with matcha is as fascinating as it is extensive.
From the Inside Cover:

In The Healthy Matcha Cookbook, food blogger and registered dietitian Miryam Quinn-Doblas explores the various ways matcha powder—a main component of green tea—can be incorporated into everyday recipes to give your immune system the boost it needs to keep you healthy.
The health benefits of matcha powder far exceed those of green tea in drink form. The more than sixty recipes in this cookbook are easy to prepare and feature fresh, high-quality ingredients that aim to incorporate matcha powder, a powerful antioxidant, into the diet.

I love the recipes to distraction, the information is priceless, and the book, itself, is gorgeous. What I love most may be the fact that the author took the extra time to label her recipes “gluten free, dairy-free, and vegan.” When you either choose to or have to follow a particular diet, you come to LOVE cookbook authors who go out of their way to help you in an area that, quite frankly, can be pretty tough.
Throughout the cookbook, gluten free options and tips are provided and, again, I greatly appreciate it a lot.
Make no mistake about it, however, you will love The Healthy Matcha Cookbook whether you have to follow a specific diet or not. These are off the chart healthy and delicious recipes and the book is a must have for all foodies and tea lovers.
