Claire Gilhuly at Chronicle Books has acquired Kristen Morita’s Matcha Mania, a cookbook dedicated to Japanese green tea that will feature more than 60 recipes for drinks, cookies, cakes, mochi, jellies, and other desserts. Highlighting matcha producers, cafes, and tea ceremony masters, Matcha Mania will honor matcha’s deep cultural roots while embracing its modern viral popularity. Slated for publication in fall 2027, it will follow the September 15, 2026 publication of Morita’s forthcoming Mochitsuki, a cookbook also acquired by Gilhuly that covers the history, culture, and tradition of mochi.
