Summary

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。

Chef Tosi does a great job of baking nostalgia into great desserts。 She combines flavors that just sing of childhood, but she makes it in a way that has so much sophistication and whimsy。 A really great baking cookbook for any person with a young heart。

Kim Howard

I’m a baker at heart and ever since I saw Christina Tosi on Chef’s Table (Netflix), I became a follower of her style of baking。 This cookbook has the cute, inspiration for recipes stories that put the reader in Tosi’s creative environment。 There are plenty of pictures and very precise instructions for having the same outcome that she gets but she also leaves the reader plenty of room to be creative。 I’ve made two recipes so far and I look forward to making all of them。 If you enjoy baking then I I’m a baker at heart and ever since I saw Christina Tosi on Chef’s Table (Netflix), I became a follower of her style of baking。 This cookbook has the cute, inspiration for recipes stories that put the reader in Tosi’s creative environment。 There are plenty of pictures and very precise instructions for having the same outcome that she gets but she also leaves the reader plenty of room to be creative。 I’ve made two recipes so far and I look forward to making all of them。 If you enjoy baking then I highly recommend this cookbook。 。。。more

Just like going back to Culinary School, but without the strict French approach, this recipe book kept adding crazy-fun ideas to my classically trained brain。 Can’t wait to start making some cereal milk creations of my own。Christina, thank you for the down-to-earth-“ness” you bring to baking with your fun stories, and real-life experience。 I wanna be like you when I grow up (lol), and just enjoy the sweets that life provides us all!

I bookmarked a handful of recipes。 You'll find desserts and breads, both simple and complicated, and not as many food photos as I'd expect in a cookbook。 I'm inspired to try adding peanut brittle bits to my peanut butter cookies and to make pie crumb (an easy crust)。 I bookmarked a handful of recipes。 You'll find desserts and breads, both simple and complicated, and not as many food photos as I'd expect in a cookbook。 I'm inspired to try adding peanut brittle bits to my peanut butter cookies and to make pie crumb (an easy crust)。 。。。more

The recipes are complex AF, but some are really spectack if you remember to halve the salt every time。 Really, just too salty otherwise。 In everything。 The layer cakes are fun to make and really tasty。 The cookies are equally good。 But the ice creams are a fail for me。 I prefer the straight-up custard style or simple milk and cream methods, and these recipes are too iffy with gelatin and cornstarch, glucose, and milk powder。 It’s needlessly complex without improving flavor or texture。 The book i The recipes are complex AF, but some are really spectack if you remember to halve the salt every time。 Really, just too salty otherwise。 In everything。 The layer cakes are fun to make and really tasty。 The cookies are equally good。 But the ice creams are a fail for me。 I prefer the straight-up custard style or simple milk and cream methods, and these recipes are too iffy with gelatin and cornstarch, glucose, and milk powder。 It’s needlessly complex without improving flavor or texture。 The book itself is an organizational nightmare。 The TOC is useless。 You have to read it cover to cover and bookmark the recipes you might want to try。 The index will be your best friend for future use。 And don’t forget to halve the salt。 And an extra pinch of baking powder。 Maybe punch up the flour, or use cake flour。 You’ll figure it out。 。。。more

Normally I'd go into in-depth detail about the book: Font, layout, contents, recipes, photos, list of ingredients, directions, etc。 but I was so put off and so very disappointed by it all that I'm not going to waste my time。Milk Bar: a place to drink, purchase, & eat desserts made with milk that has had Cornflakes, Fruity Pebbles, or Captain Crunch soaked in it & then strained。 That immediately put me off as I clearly remember drinking that milk when I was too young to know better。I did read the Normally I'd go into in-depth detail about the book: Font, layout, contents, recipes, photos, list of ingredients, directions, etc。 but I was so put off and so very disappointed by it all that I'm not going to waste my time。Milk Bar: a place to drink, purchase, & eat desserts made with milk that has had Cornflakes, Fruity Pebbles, or Captain Crunch soaked in it & then strained。 That immediately put me off as I clearly remember drinking that milk when I was too young to know better。I did read the list of ingredients at the beginning of the book and Tosi did explain what she used, what could be substituted, and why。 But I found recipes to be labor intensive and therefore of no interest and just reading them made me gag on the projected sweetness。 Her description of her cookies, crunchy outside & creamy inside, left me imagining raw/undercooked gooey messes。 I also found a great dichotomy in her ingredients: pure butter, organic eggs, & high grade chocolate mixed w/ (most likely gmo) highly sugared commercial cereals & cheap marshmallows?Such a huge disappointment and a whole lot of hype。 。。。more

I loved the Netflix doc on her。。。but I just didn't like all the NY chefy business with the "we like hard bodies, people who will do anything to get the job done。。。" um, so that rich people can eat overpriced food meanwhile the "hard bodies" get paid just above minimum wage? I just don't get that world。 Anyway, I was hoping for more user-friendly recipes, but these really require access to a professional bakery。 And cereal milk cake sounds super chemically。 Sorry。 I loved the Netflix doc on her。。。but I just didn't like all the NY chefy business with the "we like hard bodies, people who will do anything to get the job done。。。" um, so that rich people can eat overpriced food meanwhile the "hard bodies" get paid just above minimum wage?

Borrowed this from my mom - a fun and well written cookbook on this NYC baker and her creative approach to dessert and pastries。 Definitely going to try a few out of here。

This book is great。 There are a lot of creative sugar FILLED recipes (these should actually be called projects because there are a lot of steps that would be best spread out over a few days)。 I made the confetti cookies and they were so good。 The milk powder in the dough gives the cookies a more rich caramel flavor。

I have quite a long list of things to buy 😊。 Can’t wait!

While the recipes in this book are often laborious and require special ingredients, I am amazed at the results these recipes have yielded

I love milk bar and it's cool to see how their delicious treats come to life。 Ingredients are not always common and recipes are much more complex than average home chef has time for。 But that's to be expected from an amazing NYC bakery institution。 I made corn cookies and they turned out pretty good, though not quite as good as what milk bar gives you!

Got this book for a very specific recipe, and was happy to discover that included it, as well as many others I didn’t realize I wanted until I saw it! Realistically, many of the ingredients aren’t as accessible (for me locally anyway) as they advertise in the book, but I am excited to try them out someday! Definitely a kitchen staple and worth purchasing。

Les Lauriault

So worth it!!Worth the read just for the Crack Pie recipe!! Great inside knowledge of how the Duchess of Desserts became a legend overnight。

I saw one local baker and one Singaporean baker who once recommended this cookbook for those who want to start baking or want to start a bakery。 As a home bakery business owner myself, I, of course, felt curious about said book。 Not to mention that I never read any English-written cookbook whatsoever。 So I'm excited for this first experience。Actually I have read several of Tosi's recipes on a few online sources, and I must say that her -- especially layer cake -- recipes seemed overwhelming。 But I saw one local baker and one Singaporean baker who once recommended this cookbook for those who want to start baking or want to start a bakery。 As a home bakery business owner myself, I, of course, felt curious about said book。 Not to mention that I never read any English-written cookbook whatsoever。 So I'm excited for this first experience。Actually I have read several of Tosi's recipes on a few online sources, and I must say that her -- especially layer cake -- recipes seemed overwhelming。 But after reading this book (and re-reading many times), I found that (some of them) do not seem that overwhelming anymore。 Moreover, Tosi gives somewhat detailed step-by-step explanation of the prep/baking instruction。 And the plus side is that she writes the recipes in metric calculation。From her Instagram, she inspires me to handle baking like a fun experience。 Or to handle baking experiment like a fun research。 I'm glad my expectation of this book more or less satisfied me。Have I tried any of the recipes from the book? No。 But I have noted down two recipes with easier-to-get ingredients -- Chocolate Chip Cake and Banana Cake。 I seriously can't wait to get to try baking them (or at least one of them)。"Baking is the ultimate act of nurturing。 。。。 precision is key, but so is remembering you are making delicious food for yourself or someone else。" 。。。more

I loved reading the forward by Chang and how Tosi even came to be a pastry chef。 The photos are beautiful。Two problems: Both recipes I've tried have been delicious BUT did not come out like intended。I tried the Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies。 First, you must make the cornflake crunch (which is delicious on it's own)。 Then you make the cookies。 My first batch flattened out to nothing in the oven and the marshmallows disintegrated。 I then froze the cookies (verses just refrigerating them) and I loved reading the forward by Chang and how Tosi even came to be a pastry chef。 The photos are beautiful。Two problems: Both recipes I've tried have been delicious BUT did not come out like intended。I tried the Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies。 First, you must make the cornflake crunch (which is delicious on it's own)。 Then you make the cookies。 My first batch flattened out to nothing in the oven and the marshmallows disintegrated。 I then froze the cookies (verses just refrigerating them) and decreased the temp。 That worked a bit better。My second recipe to try was the famous Crack Pie。 Again, you must make an oatmeal cookie to crumble up for the crust beforehand。 Again, the cookie was delicious by itself。 The actual recipe makes two pies。 I halved the recipe。 Again, the pie was delicious but not what intended。 The pie was a bit runny (even after freezing it per the instructions)。Again, I have to say that of the two recipes I've tried, Tosi's flavors are spot on。 I just wonder about adapting recipes from the commercial kitchen to the home。 For instance, the Crack Pie recipe made two。 The "extra" ingredient, cornflake crunch, made more than what the cookie recipe called for。 Even though I have a convection oven, I think that maybe the cooking times and temps might be off a bit from the commercial ones。 Who knows。 When I cooked the cookies for the allotted amount of time (without checking in on them), they were almost burnt。 I cooked the pie for about double the amount of time。。。。I really wanted to love this book because I admire both Change and Tosi。 。。。more

Let me preface this by saying that I'm a fairly experienced home baker。 I expected to be successful if I followed the instructions precisely and that was not what happened。 The ingredients and instructions are not as detailed as they need to be if you want to replicate their products at home。 For example, Tosi does not specify dehydrated marshmallows in the cookie recipes; if you use standard marshmallows as called for, they melt which does not look like the picture provided in the book or resem Let me preface this by saying that I'm a fairly experienced home baker。 I expected to be successful if I followed the instructions precisely and that was not what happened。 The ingredients and instructions are not as detailed as they need to be if you want to replicate their products at home。 For example, Tosi does not specify dehydrated marshmallows in the cookie recipes; if you use standard marshmallows as called for, they melt which does not look like the picture provided in the book or resemble the cookies sold at Milk Bar。 Also, I had issues getting the cookies to not be a flat and crunchy。 After reading other people's experiences online, I found an overwhelming number of people who had the same problem。 I bought this book because I wanted to learn how to make a taller, chewy cookie like Milk Bar's。 Overall, I would say that the recipes yield delicious results if you test and modify them which is incredibly time consuming。 Also, your end result is not going to be exactly like a Milk Bar product。 。。。more

I'm not much of a baker。 Never enjoyed measuring stuff out , mixing in a specific manner, popping things on ovens and waiting to find out how it comes out。 That is way too many steps for a cookie or a cake。 I love cooking, skimming a recipe or even a photo of a dish and having at it。 Baking is simply too regimented for my taste。。。。until。Chef Tosi and her amazing and simple and fun and innovative approach to baking is just what I like in recipes, Inspiring and fun。 The recipes are all keepers and I'm not much of a baker。 Never enjoyed measuring stuff out , mixing in a specific manner, popping things on ovens and waiting to find out how it comes out。 That is way too many steps for a cookie or a cake。 I love cooking, skimming a recipe or even a photo of a dish and having at it。 Baking is simply too regimented for my taste。。。。until。Chef Tosi and her amazing and simple and fun and innovative approach to baking is just what I like in recipes, Inspiring and fun。 The recipes are all keepers and the combinations of desserts one can make from all of her secrets are vast。 I now have a new appreciation for instruction。 Thank you Chef Tosi。 。。。more

Elaine

A really great cookbook, but perhaps even better is the behind the scenes glimpses of what it takes to become a great pastry chef。 Her story of how she met David Chang, and his ongoing support of her as a person and as a chef is great to hear。 So much of what we read and hear about is a cut throat, dog eat dog environment in the kitchen that this is a pleasant surprise。 Her section on how she created cereal milk is inspired。

I'm going to be honest, the dishes in this book are a straight 11/10 but by god this is probably the worst "cook book" I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to follow。 The fluff, so much fluff, too much fluff。。。 Dave Chang's Foreword was great, I love the introduction too but there's far too much going on everywhere else。 If I want a life story on a dish and not just a little preamble I'll go back to furiously scrolling through food blogs to get to the relevant part。The pictures, oh swee I'm going to be honest, the dishes in this book are a straight 11/10 but by god this is probably the worst "cook book" I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to follow。 The fluff, so much fluff, too much fluff。。。 Dave Chang's Foreword was great, I love the introduction too but there's far too much going on everywhere else。 If I want a life story on a dish and not just a little preamble I'll go back to furiously scrolling through food blogs to get to the relevant part。The pictures, oh sweet Jesus, it's like the book had a minimum picture requirement and someone hit shuffle with no rhyme or reason for placement。 For many of the dishes there isn't even a picture of the finished product, for others, the picture isn't even on the same page as the recipe。 Most infuriatingly there are an obscene amount of pictures of random kitchen nonsense that, although well taken, just fill up every inch of space, it's just too busy。Don't get me wrong, these dishes are fantastic and to the frustrations of most home bakers, there are no corner cutting options here, need an oat cookie crumb for crack pie? Well, you've got to bake one first before you can smash it up into a crust, which is sure to frustrate most。 I, however, love the intricacy and depth of the dishes although I'll only likely ever make one or two from the book, it's for serious people or for wowing the in laws on special occasions。It's worth the purchase but I hope with Tosi's success there will be lessons learned for future books。 。。。more
