Momofuku Milk Bar

The James Beard Award-winning founder of Milk Bar and host of Bake Squad shares her personal stories and wisdom for igniting passion, following your joy, and creating a satisfying life. Dessert connects us heart-to-heart like almost nothing else. It brings us together in good times and bad, celebration and solace. Desserts mark big milestones and small wins and create indelible memories of comfort and joy. And Christina Tosi, the founder and CEO of Milk Bar, believes it can save the world. Does she really think the combination of sugar, flour, and butter has some magical ability to fix all the craziness of our modern existence? Of course not. Even with her trademark exuberance for baked goods that has touched millions of lives through her products, books, and television shows, Tosi knows a cookie is just a cookie. But bringing the joy a cookie holds into every area of your life most definitely can. The spirit of dessert--the relentless, unflinching commitment to finding or creating joy even when joy feels hard to come by--is what can save us. And then we, in turn, can each save the world. In Dessert Can Save the World, Tosi chronicles her path to success in work and life. Along the way, she shares the wisdom she learned growing up surrounded by strong, amazing women who passed along the legacy of baking to harness love and create connection with others, as well as personal stories about succeeding in the highly competitive food world by unapologetically expressing her true self. Tosi also shares a few very personal and unorthodox recipes, of course. Dessert Can Save the World reveals all the secret ingredients for transforming our outlooks, our relationships, our work, and our entire collective existence into something boldly optimistic and stubbornly joyful.

Chang David

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.

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 Milk Bar bakery. Momofuku Milk Bar shares the recipes for Christina Tosi’s fantastic desserts—the 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. Christina’s playful desserts, including 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; and the easy layer cakes that forgo fancy frosting in favor of unfinished edges that hint at the yumminess inside 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.
