Synopses & Reviews
Get your oolong on! Add character to your chia parfait with chai, jazz up your brussel sprouts with jasmine, dramatize your pain perdu with darjeeling. Steeped infuses your day with the flavors and fragrances of tea.
Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, and has a long and colorful history. But tea is also very of the moment, and rising ever-higher in the food world, starring in Martha Stewart’s Jasmine Shortbread Sandwich Cookies, Food 52’s Darjeeling Tea Pain Perdu, and the Beard Foundation’s Tea Sorbet. Every artisanal chocolatier seems to have a variation on Earl Grey truffles, and tea-infused recipes are all over Pinterest, from Creamy Nut Oolong Tea Gelato to Chai-spiced everything.
Steeped is fun, attractive, and fresh, and speaks beautifully to this moment. Its 70 tea-infused recipes take into account modern tea lovers’ interest in the health benefits of tea and in new food movements, with a whole-grain, vegetarian focus grounded in real home food, and easy, interesting, and tempting adaptations of tea’s exotic and aromatic flavors.
Recipes range from the expected sweet to the unexpected savory: not only Buttermilk Oat Pancakes with Chamomile-Scented Strawberries and Spiked Crème Fraîche, Rhubarb Chamomile Jam, Jasmine Risotto with Coconut Almond Florentines, and Hard Cider Floats with Chai Ice Cream, but also “Teabbouleh,” Soba Noodle Salad with Green Tea Vinaigrette, Mini Banh Mi with Tea Aioli, and Moroccan Carrots, Lentils, and Mint with Chai-Spiced Delicata Hummus.
Packaged in a beautiful giftable format, Steeped is both a useful and enticing cookbook and perfect for merchandising and gifting alongside gourmet teas, teapots, and other tea paraphernalia.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:
A Los Angeles Times Favorite New Cookbook of the Year: "Think about all the coffee-infused foods out there (cakes, ice creams, liquors and BBQ spice rubs, to just name a few). Zijderveld makes a powerful argument that we're missing out when we fail to similarly incorporate tea as a spice into our everyday routines. The book is part tea primer but also intrepid tea explorer, with recipes such as strawberry camomile jam, Moroccan mint-flavored quiche, a spinach salad featuring pecans encrusted with a masala chai maple syrup, and hurricane popcorn with Dragon Well tea furikake. (It's like salty-sweet kettle corn, but with tea.) This book would make a great gift for both tea newcomers and those who can rhapsodize about the smoky complexities of a Lapsang souchong."
