（able to review this book through net galley）This book was interesting for me to look through because I don't really eat asian sweets/baked goods。 There's a few places near me， but not a lot。 Flipping through this book， you can tell the author made this with love。 Each recipe was not only photographed beautifully， but explained in a way that allowed me to understand some of the cultural significance。 Any person would be lucky to have this book， and I can't wait to try more of the recipes。 （able to review this book through net galley）This book was interesting for me to look through because I don't really eat asian sweets/baked goods。 There's a few places near me， but not a lot。 Flipping through this book， you can tell the author made this with love。 Each recipe was not only photographed beautifully， but explained in a way that allowed me to understand some of the cultural significance。 Any person would be lucky to have this book， and I can't wait to try more of the recipes。 。。。more

The mooncake cover piqued my curiosity on how to make one。 And this book indeed is full of surprises。 Not only the famous Chinese or Japanese sweet treats， they included Vietnamese， Indonesian and Indian desserts。 And also some genius modification of European cakes and pastries with hints of Asian， such as matcha。 Although I haven't tried to recreate the recipes， but surely will do some mouthwatering dishes amateur like me can make。 The mooncake cover piqued my curiosity on how to make one。 And this book indeed is full of surprises。 Not only the famous Chinese or Japanese sweet treats， they included Vietnamese， Indonesian and Indian desserts。 And also some genius modification of European cakes and pastries with hints of Asian， such as matcha。 Although I haven't tried to recreate the recipes， but surely will do some mouthwatering dishes amateur like me can make。 。。。more

I love niche cookbooks， so I was extremely excited to be approved for a second Asian baking book。 I don’t live in an area with a high density of Asian specialty stores - the Asian supermarket is about half an hour away - so pretty much all I know about Asian baking comes from the previous Asian baking book that I read。 Which means I have ever so much left to learn！ And I was looking to this book to fill the gaps。 I was off to a great start because the author intended for her book to be a “baking I love niche cookbooks， so I was extremely excited to be approved for a second Asian baking book。 I don’t live in an area with a high density of Asian specialty stores - the Asian supermarket is about half an hour away - so pretty much all I know about Asian baking comes from the previous Asian baking book that I read。 Which means I have ever so much left to learn！ And I was looking to this book to fill the gaps。 I was off to a great start because the author intended for her book to be a “baking buddy” for home cooks exploring East and Southeast Asian ingredients and techniques。Modern Asian Baking begins with roughly twenty pages of introductory material， including discussions of the Asian pantry and techniques used in Asian baking。 I really appreciated the global recipe notes in this section， which specified certain aspects of the recipes， such as “All eggs are large，” “All butter is unsalted，” “All dairy milk is full-fat。” Although having these specifications up front may cause some confusion when excerpting a recipe from the book， I appreciated how these notes streamlined the ingredients lists in the recipes。 Also， it was helpful to know well upfront that all ingredients （including liquids） would be measured in grams， for consistency and accuracy。 I was concerned that this meant that I would be unable to attempt any of the recipes until my housemate replaced the digital kitchen scale that he accidentally destroyed; however， once I started reading the recipes， I discovered that the measurements are in both Imperial units and grams。 No need for a kitchen scale！ The Techniques section of the introductory material is fairly extensive and visual， with photographs that illustrate， among other things， varying degrees of meringue stiffness and the windowpane test for bread dough。After the introductory material is approximately 150 pages of recipes divided into seven different sections， each specializing in one or two types of Asian bakery goods。 Much to my surprise there is not as much use of the oven as I expected in a baking book。 A fair number of the recipes were adaptations of Western recipes with Asian ingredients， including matcha chocolate chip cookies， blue pea flower shortbread， black sesame beignets， ube scones， and miso brownies。 A good portion of the recipes seem to be classic Asian ones that appeared in the other Asian baking book， such as milk bread， moon cakes， steamed buns， scallion pancakes， and almond cookies。 Each recipe starts with an author’s note providing the background of and the inspiration for the recipe。 The Recipe Specs chart contains the prep time， cook time， inactive time， and yield of the recipe。 The recipe steps are clearly written， with some humorous asides， and seem to be easy to follow。Much like the previous Asian baking book that I read， the author of Modern Asian Baking is not classically trained: she is an avid self-taught home baker who started an “inclusive and diverse” Facebook group for Asian bakers two years prior to the book’s publication。 Therefore， the vast majority of the recipes in this book seem to be either inspired by or adapted from recipes provided by other individuals in the Facebook group and/or adapted from other Internet sources。 While the author is meticulous about crediting her sources and about citing everyone’s Instagram handles and website URLs in the blurbs before the recipes， it almost feels like she should have been credited as the editor rather than the author。 Even though the cover has a blurb on it that states that the book was inspired by the Subtle Asian Baking community。 I also wasn’t surprised to find minor inconsistencies throughout the book， such as a recipe that says to thread three pieces of fruit onto a bamboo skewer while the accompanying photo shows about eight pieces on the skewer。 Or a different recipe that says the yield is eight cookies but only instructs to divide the cookie dough into four pieces。Overall， I enjoyed both Asian baking books。 This one had more variety in the recipes and fewer exotic recipes than the prior one。 The prior one had more stories and information about Asian bakeries in the United States and the delicacies that they carry。 I don’t know if I really need to add two Asian baking books in my 150+ book cookbook collection; however， there is so little overlap between the two volumes that it will be difficult to choose just one。I received this book as a digital advance reader copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion。 I have yet to try any of the recipes from this book， but will update my review when I do。 。。。more

I usually don't buy physical cookbooks due to cost， preferring instead to borrow them from the local library or wait for a Kindle sale。 However， when author Kat Lieu announced on the Subtle Asian Baking Facebook group that preorders were available for her book， I immediately jumped over to bookshop。org to order my copy。After having loved Kristina Cho's MOONCAKES AND MILK BREAD， I was eager to try another Asian baking cookbook， and MODERN ASIAN BAKING AT HOME is truly an amazing resource。 Ingredi I usually don't buy physical cookbooks due to cost， preferring instead to borrow them from the local library or wait for a Kindle sale。 However， when author Kat Lieu announced on the Subtle Asian Baking Facebook group that preorders were available for her book， I immediately jumped over to bookshop。org to order my copy。After having loved Kristina Cho's MOONCAKES AND MILK BREAD， I was eager to try another Asian baking cookbook， and MODERN ASIAN BAKING AT HOME is truly an amazing resource。 Ingredients are listed by weight and volume， and every single recipe has a beautiful photo to accompany it。 The page layout is simultaneously functional （no recipe requires flipping pages） and aesthetically pleasing。 Kat's recipe introductions and corny puns kept me amused as I bookmarked recipe after recipe to try。The only critique I have of the book is that in the Recipe Notes （page 14）， it states that "All eggs are large （about 2 ounces， or 50 g， each）。" However， there are some recipes in the book that specify medium eggs， which are somehow also 50 g each。 For example， the dorayaki recipe （pages 40-41） requires "4 medium eggs （about 7 ounces， or 200 g）。" I don't foresee this causing a huge difference in most of the recipes， but I found it a little odd。Despite that， highly recommend MODERN ASIAN BAKING AT HOME， and if you haven't already， join the SAB club on Facebook！ 。。。more

So many fantastic recipes！ Where I live， there are very few Asian bakeries where you can pick up these amazing treats so baking them yourself is the only way to indulge in childhood favorites。 The recipe in this book uses easy to find ingredients and any technique that is used is explained in the front of the book。 I loved the author's pictures and story of her baking journey。 The recipe pictures are beautiful and give you a good idea of what your food should look like。 Bonus points for all the So many fantastic recipes！ Where I live， there are very few Asian bakeries where you can pick up these amazing treats so baking them yourself is the only way to indulge in childhood favorites。 The recipe in this book uses easy to find ingredients and any technique that is used is explained in the front of the book。 I loved the author's pictures and story of her baking journey。 The recipe pictures are beautiful and give you a good idea of what your food should look like。 Bonus points for all the ube recipes， a personal favorite！ The ube halaya jam will now be a staple in my home。 I received a copy from #NetGalley and Quarry Books for an honest review。 。。。more

I am absolutely in love with this cookbook！ The graphics are gorgeous and I am dying to try out all of these recipes。 Every single one of the recipes look so good。 Each recipe have nice little descriptions and I like Kat's personal touches sprinkled into the book。 The directions seem very easy and clear to follow。 I love that she referenced each baker's instagram account information for ease of access if we wanted to find and follow them。 I am absolutely in love with this cookbook！ The graphics are gorgeous and I am dying to try out all of these recipes。 Every single one of the recipes look so good。 Each recipe have nice little descriptions and I like Kat's personal touches sprinkled into the book。 The directions seem very easy and clear to follow。 I love that she referenced each baker's instagram account information for ease of access if we wanted to find and follow them。 。。。more
