日本沙拉蛋糕受追捧 / 'Salad Cakes' contain NO sugar, fat or batter

日本一家小餐館會推出一款“沙拉蛋糕”。該蛋糕雖然有著蛋糕的外形，但其主要原料是蔬菜，所以含有很少或幾乎不含糖、脂肪等，因此廣受人們喜愛。“沙拉蛋糕”源自日本食品造型師Misuki Moriyasu的創意。這是不含糖和脂肪的，大家有興趣品嘗一下嗎？

Everyone, at least once in a while, eats a depressing homemade salad, whether at their desk in work or from the confines of their own kitchen.But a new cafe, in Naygowa, Japan, hopes that people would find a plate filled with wilting rocket and tomato slightly less depressing if it looked like a beautiful cake. Food stylist Misuki Moriyasu first came up with the idea for so-called salad cakes (which are basically salads that look like cakes), and her idea has been so popular that a cafe selling them, The VegieDeco Cafe, is slated to open this month.

這款蛋糕用豆腐或奶油乾酪來代替傳統蛋糕上的糖衣，雖然看起來熱量很高，但卻是非常健康的，因為裡面全部都是蔬菜，營養價值非常高。這家名叫VegieDeco的餐館還將推出幾款有利於人們保持健康和好身材的低碳水化合物和無谷蛋白食物。它們可以讓你的午餐變得不那麼無聊，更重要的是，它不會讓你有任何“負罪感”。對於那些注重飲食健康的人來說，這家餐館將成為他們的首選。

How a salad cake works is that basically in lieu of traditional icing, the cakes are glazed with either tofu or cream cheese, before they are blended with vegetables to make them look like frosting.
The cakes may look devilish, but they are in fact extremely healthy - simply speaking, they are nutritious salads disguised as tasty cakes. The cakes contain whole vegetables in them, while the 'sponge' part of the lunch is created using natural ingredients like soybean flour.
