Once you have mastered a matcha latte, a good recipe book is the next step: iced drinks, baking, desserts and savoury dishes. Matcha cookbooks also make one of the best matcha gifts, because they suit beginners and experts alike. Here are five recipe books on Amazon, all sold and shipped by Amazon.com, covering matcha drinks, home café drinks and baking.
Baking from these books? Use culinary or latte-grade matcha; ceremonial grade is wasted in the oven. See best matcha for baking.

Sixty recipes that, according to the title, go beyond desserts into savoury cooking with matcha. A good pick if you have already baked your way through matcha cookies.
Not matcha-only, but a strong pick if your matcha habit is mostly lattes and iced drinks: it covers café-style matcha, tea and coffee drinks to make at home.
A dessert book with an Asian flair, as the title puts it, for bakers who want to go beyond matcha cookies to macarons and other sweets.
A drinks book covering mocktails, matcha drinks and seasonal drinks, per its title. A good gift for someone whose matcha habit sits alongside other wellness drinks.
Pair a book with the right matcha
Recipe books work best with two matchas on hand: a culinary or latte grade for baking and lattes, and a ceremonial grade for drinking plain. See ceremonial vs culinary matcha. For free recipes to start with, see our unique matcha recipes.
