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.

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.
