I made this strawberry mousse

I made this strawberry mousse for my friends. It's so seasonal and flavorful.  

I made with strawberry, kanten, silken tofu, pear juice, rice syrup and tahini for the mousse.

The pink / red is the color of the symbol of summer. very energizing, isn't it?

このストロベリームースを作りました。季節のフルーツを味わうのは本当によいですね。

ピンク／赤は情熱の色、これから暖かくなり夏にむけて力が湧いて来るそんな色ですよね。

友達もよろこんでいました。

Apple Pie / French style

I learned in Europe that French bake their apple pie very simple. They don't have to put creams inside. So, this one is very simple, just crust, raisins, apples and the coating on top!

Simple is the best, right?

French Style Apple Pie:

Crust:

pastry flour (unbleached  whole wheat) 250g

salt 1 teaspoon

corn oil 85ml

maple syrup 85ml

Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

apples

raisins

kuzu 3 teaspoons

pear juice 150ml

maple syrup 

pinch of salt

pinch of vanilla powder

Blend liquid well first, then add to the powder to make the dough. Spread the dough in a pie dish and bake 15 to 20 minutes in a oven 350 F. Sprinkle the raisins and fine sliced apples on top of the crust. (You can bake this a little bit, too) Bring pear juice with pinch of salt, vanilla powder, kuzu to boil, add maple syrup to sweeten as you like. Pour the liquid on top of the pie to dress the pie!

Chill and serve. 

Desert recipe/ Strawberry Kanten

I am back in sunny Los Angeles. I miss Amsterdam.... but now I am enjoying cooking in my kitchen, trying to improve my cooking skill. 

The other day I made this dessert with fresh strawberries. It was really good!

Strawberry Kanten with Amazake , sesami flavor

ing:

Amazake 1.5 cup , Water  1,5 cup , rice syrup 2 teaspoon, tahini sauce 1 teaspoon, strawberries, powder kanten ( agar agar) 2 teaspoon (5 g)
