Momofuku Milk Bar by Christina Tosi (English) Hardcover Book

Momofuku Milk Bar

by Christina Tosi, David Chang

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.

Author Biography

Christina Tosi made her name at Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. She has worked as a pastry chef in the kitchens of New York's Bouley and WD~50, and David Chang's Momofuku Noodle Bar and Ssäm Bar - where she got her big break. Tosi's baking for the staff so impressed Chang that he asked her to run his pastry shop, Momofuku Milk Bar where Tosi and her team create all of the desserts served throughout the six-restaurant Momofuku empire.What makes Tosi unique is the way she uses everyday ingredients such as pretzels, potato crisps, marshmallows, cornflakes, oats and dry milk powder in her recipes. These include creations such as cornflake-infused milk; her renowned 'Crack Pie with its buttery oatmeal cookie crust; 'Compost Cookies' spiked with pretzels, coffee grounds, crisps, among other ingredients; and tall malted chocolate layer cakes stuffed with charred marshmallows. Mad - but also delicious.She stars in the new Netflix show, Bake Squad.

Long Description

When David Chang opened his Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York in 2004 it was missing one thing - dessert. Dessert was just one of the many things that Chang didn't approve of! Dessert was for wimps (not the word he used!)...Then he met Christina Tosi and realised that he was wrong - very wrong, but only because Tosi's take on dessert was so insanely brilliant, addictive and different. And so it came to pass that Tosi was producing amazing desserts for Chang's 2 star Michelin restaurant Momofuku Ko and rocking a nation with her extraordinary plates of sweet things...And then she asked Chang if he would back her in opening a Momofuku Milk Bar bakery, to be linked with the ever growing family of Momofukus, to produce amazing interpretations and creations of long loved recipes, based on childhood flavour memories and down-home classics. The Milk Bars were an instant hit and the recipes that came from them drew people from all over the USA and beyond to experience her unique, and often trademarked, creations...The recipes in Milk Bar are singular and without compare. And in a time when baking has found itself a new home in the hearts of the British public, this collection of recipes can only add to the passion. Momofuku Milk Bar reveals the recipes for the addictive cookies, pies, cakes, ice creams and cereal milk delights that have captivated a city and a nation. The recipes are all derived from ten mother recipes from which she works her legendary riffs - Crack Pie, Compost Cookie and Cereal Milk Ice Cream are just some of the instant and way-out classics included in this sumptuous collection, so brilliantly photographed by Gabriele Stabile.
