Cake


The most famous vegetable sweet is cake. I introduce many kinds of vegetable cake. First is carrot cake. Carrot cake is the most famous vegetable cake. We can make it easily at home.

Carrot cake is loved by children and adults.

Vegetable pudding is also poplar. Generally, pumpkin and sweet potato are used for pudding, because they are very sweet. But, other vegetable is also used for pudding. The vegetable is spinach.

Tea or Coffee



We always drink tea and coffee at café, home and outside. Now, we can buy a lot of kinds of tea and coffee. However, we know little about tea and coffee. So I am going to write about kind of tea and coffee and how to use it.



Kind


First, tea is drunk in many countries not only India or Britain. For example, these are China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Turkey and Japan. So, there are a lot of kinds of tea. About 30 kinds of tea are drunk all over the world. We will able to choose favorite tea you like the best. Second, coffee has some kinds of coffee beans. It has 16 kinds of coffee beans. Coffee beans grow up in hot area of the world. For example, these are Jamaica, Hawaii, Indonesia, and Brazil.



How to use


Tea and coffee are used to many foods. Especially, when we make sweets, we use them. However, we don’t know so much about the foods which is used tea and coffee. So I will compare about the foods which is used tea and coffee. Tea is often used boil, because flavor of tea match with meat. In unusual use, we can eat rice with tea poured over it (Chazuke). Tea has not strong flavor, so we can eat usual Chazuke like green tea.



Kind of tea is more than coffee, and tea is very useful drink to use for cook. So, I think Tea is better than coffee.
