From the Publisher
The highly anticipated complement to the New York Times
bestselling Momofuku cookbook, Momofuku Milk Bar
reveals the recipes for the innovative, addictive cookies, pies,
cakes, ice creams, and more from the wildly popular bakery.
A runaway success, the Momofuku cookbook suffered from
just one criticism among reviewers and fans: where were Christina
Tosi's fantastic desserts? The compost cookie, a
chunky chocolate-chip cookie studded with crunchy salty pretzels
and coffee grounds; the crack pie, a
sugary-buttery confection as craveable as the name implies; the
cereal milk ice cream, made from everyone's
favorite part of a nutritious breakfast-the milk at the bottom of a
bowl of cereal; the easy layer cakes that forgo
fancy frosting in favor of unfinished edges that hint at the
yumminess inside.
Momofuku Milk Bar finally shares the recipes for these
now-legendary riffs on childhood flavors and down-home classics-all
essentially derived from ten mother recipes-along with the
compelling narrative of the unlikely beginnings of this quirky
bakery's success. It all started one day when Momofuku founder
David Chang asked Christina to make a dessert for dinner that
night. Just like that, the pastry program at Momofuku began, and
Christina's playful desserts helped the restaurants earn praise
from the New York Times and the Michelin Guide
and led to the opening of Milk Bar, which now draws fans from
around the country and the world.
With all the recipes for the bakery's most beloved desserts-along
with ones for savory baked goods that take a page from Chang's
Asian-flavored cuisine, such as Kimchi Croissants with Blue
Cheese-and 100 color photographs, Momofuku Milk Bar makes
baking irresistible off-beat treats at home both foolproof and fun.
