Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

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.
