We went for a Strawberry afternoon tea at the Hyatt Centric Ginza in Tokyo! It was beautiful, so delicious and completely gluten free. They often host seasonal events so you should absolutely check it out!
Inspired by Chainsaw Man, I’m making Denji’s ultimate breakfast toast! Starting with the original chaotic version and then my own French toast version. Using a simple custard base and topping with 2 jams, we channel Denji’s excited destructive energy while enjoying a sweet and easy brunch. Which would you try?
Inspired by One Piece, I’m making GEAR 5th [f]Luffy Mochi specially for our favourite rubber man and future king of the pirates! I have been so excited to finally see Gear 5th animated! Fresh mochi stuffed with a fluffy vanilla whipped cream, mixed with chopped rambutan, and a swirl of black currant jam makes for a perfect and delicious super stretchy treat to celebrate! I adore One Piece and will never stop making excuses to get excited about everything that happens in this manga/anime and will continue to create special recipes to pair with it. After all FOOD + ANIME = LOVE! 💖
Inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle, I’m making one of the most iconic breakfasts in film. Howl’s breakfast spread for Markl and Sophie. This is one of my favourite films of all time and I am so excited to finally share this creation with you. Crispy bacon (don’t let Calcifer burn it), runny eggs, fresh bread, a hunk of cheese, and a freshly steeped pot of tea. If you want to be truly authentic then you have to use a spoon to eat your eggs, and drink your tea out of a bowl. Just saying!
Inspired by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Entertainment District Arc, I’m making Tengen Uzui’s Crystal Candy. Tengen is a really fun and awesome character and I wanted to make a special treat for him. Since he is so “Flashy” and is literally dripping in crystals, I thought that crystal candies or Kohakutou would be perfect! Kohakutou is a Japanese candy made from only a few ingredients. Agar agar, sugar, water, and the flavouring of your choice. The crystal candies are easy to put together and result in a really yummy crispy shelled candy with a perfect gummy center. You have got to try them!
You have got to try Japanese Soufflé Pancakes! Light and fluffy pancakes covered in fresh strawberry jam and whipped cream. We ate them at this beautiful little place called Riz Labo Kitchen in Tokyo and we ended up going back multiple times to have more delicious pancakes! A simple recipe with a meringue base, topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, a generous drizzle of jam, and some powdered sugar. I swear you’ll feel like you’re at an adorable café in Tokyo while enjoying these at home!
Inspired by Hunter x Hunter, I’m making Hisoka’s Bungee Gum (Strawberry) Mochi. I love Hunter x Hunter, it’s definitely one of my favourite anime of all time and Hisoka is really awesome! I thought that stretchy fresh mochi would be a great fit for Hisoka. A light fluffy whipped cream filling, flavoured by fresh homemade strawberry jam, wrapped in soft mochi = absolute yumminess! I adore fresh mochi and could (I do) eat it all year round, but between the change in weather and strawberry season, this is a perfect treat for right now!
Inspired by the finale of Buddy Daddies, I’m making Rei Papa’s perfect French Toast. This is a classic French toast recipe. Brioche bread, soaked in custard, fried up until golden and fluffy, served along side breakfast potatoes, sausages and salad is perfection! Miri claims that Rei Papa’s French toast is the best, and it really is delicious! It’s also super quick and easy to whip up so I highly recommend making this brunch spread!
Inspired by Dabi from My Hero Academia, I am making a Hojicha (roasted green tea) Burnt Basque Cheesecake. I wanted to create a dish to capture his fiery/burnt nature and thought that a burnt cheesecake would be perfect! Smooth tangy cream cheese + warm roasty hojicha mixed up with some sugar and a few other basic ingredients = a super simple cheesecake that has a unique and delicious flavour!
Inspired by Attack on Titan, I’m making Earl Grey Tea and Scones for Levi. A simple and classic scone recipe infused with earl grey tea. These are a perfect treat served warm with a fresh steaming pot of tea! Levi Ackerman loves earl grey and after the most recent episodes of Attack on Titan, he definitely deserves some comfort food! So here you go, Earl Grey Scones with an earl grey glaze for our Captain Levi. Shinzou Sasageyo!
