Moon cakes and Milk Bread is a excellent book which exposed me to the world of Chinese baking. The recipes are well explained and are accompanied by a background story. I’m sure to try out these recipes in future.

Thanks to netgalley , the publisher and the author for this ARC!

I was so very hungry while reading this book.

The pictures are wonderful. I especially appreciate the way that complicated or unusual bread forms are shown step by step. It is an excellent tool in a book like this. 

I really loved reading the stories behind the author's love for baked goods. The tales of how her grandfather immigrated to America and opened a restaurant, and how food connects her to her community are all really lovely to read. This is a book that not only has inspired me to get back in the kitchen and try baking again, but also has me wanting to sit down with a glass of wine and just read it while looking at the pictures. 

It feels cozy... and delicious.

Okay so I requested this book basically immediately after reading WINNIE ZENG UNLEASHES A LEGEND, so, there’s my readalike and recommendation. This is a very cozy baking book that emphasizes sharing Chinese American stories through a Chinese American lens; mixing illustrations with photography, each with just the right amount. It focuses a lot on making bready-type dishes, rather than just starting with sweet stuff, which is important and necessary. There’s a lot of illustration and instruction about technique, including best recommendations. I really enjoyed leafing through this book. Five stars. Full list of recipes available on my blog.
