Firstly, I would love to dedicate this book to my mother, who instilled in me the greatest work ethic and perseverance to never give up—to always have a positive attitude and to believe that anything is possible.
To my two little cookies,
as I referred to them ever since they were little, Miqueas and Mikaela, who are the loves of my life, my inspiration, and who make me better each day.
To my readers, without your support and interest in becoming a healthier you, bringing you creative, healthier recipes wouldn’t be as easy. Thanks for following along.
INTRODUCTION: A BIT ABOUT ME AND MATCHA
Growing up in Spain, I was able to experience the greatest gifts this culture has to offer—especially when it came to food. Eating the Mediterranean diet and being introduced to quality ingredients and certain foods from a very young age is what molded my passion for great food as I grew older.
Since I was a child, I always loved being around the kitchen. I loved cooking and baking and always dreamed of having my own restaurant and bakery someday. Collecting cookbooks as well as recipes from cooking magazines, which I still have, was one of the things I remembered doing most when I was younger.
I also loved menu planning and going grocery shopping with my mom. Browsing the many grocery aisles and selecting ingredients to cook and bake with, talking about recipes with my older aunts, and recording new recipes I wanted to experiment with were things I enjoyed doing. Anything related to food was comforting to me.
Oftentimes as a teenager, friends and family would ask me to bake and cook for them. There was nothing that made me happier than being around food, so cooking and baking for loved ones was simply a pleasure. Since my mom worked full time while I was growing up, I was also frequently left to prepare meals for my siblings. Of course I never minded; I never considered it a chore since that is what I loved to do.
Early on, I learned and appreciated that cooking and baking from scratch using wholesome ingredients is what made food taste great and what made me feel my best. Experimenting with different flavors, textures, and ingredients is what kept me curious in the kitchen. To this date, I have never lost interest; there is nothing I enjoy more than developing healthy recipes for me and my family, and I have high hopes to be able to pass that interest and enthusiasm along to my kids.
Today, most of us know that a healthy diet plays a huge role in our well-being. When leading a healthy lifestyle, we all know that a typical balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, low intake of sugars and salt, as well as consuming lean protein is most important. I believe these, coupled with having the right mindset and exercising regularly, is the secret of a good, long, quality life. Our bodies are complex machines that, without good care and the right tools, will break down and can’t be used to their fullest potential.
In this cookbook, I showcase sweet and savory recipes using one of the most ancient and most powerful healthy ingredients—matcha powder. If you incorporate superfoods into your diet on a regular basis but never thought of matcha powder, now is a great time to start using it. Take advantage of the many healthy properties this ingredient has to offer!
The benefits of matcha have been well documented. Matcha is a concentrated, powerful antioxidant form of green tea that has a large number of components that are beneficial to human health. Even if you are already following a healthy lifestyle, incorporating matcha into your diet can still benefit you.
Throughout the years, I have made it a point to introduce superfoods into my cooking and baking. Since discovering
