"This is a book that has left no questions about how to make and bake bread. The Bread Bible belongs in every baker's kitchen." —Marion Cunningham, author of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook

"Rose, of course, is the reigning Goddess with regards to the definitive word on all things pertaining to pastries and cakes. But now she has decided to clear away all misunderstandings by giving us The Bread Bible. My question is, "When are we going to have a 'Rose Levy Beranbaum National Holiday?'" —Charlie Trotter

"Rose will not only walk you through a recipe, she will hold your hand all the way. She is the ultimate perfectionist and we readers are the beneficiaries. We can always count on her to create recipes that not only work flawlessly, but taste out of this world. Way to go, Rose!" —Maggie Glezer, author of Artisan Baking Across America

"The world of bread baking has been a secret society for 5000 years. Not any more. This book explains bread in all its historical, gastronomic, chewy, crusty, glorious detail. Of course, it took Rose to do it. This is the bread book."—Bill Yosses, pastry chef, New York City

"Every book by Rose Levy Beranbaum is a highly anticipated event but this one is particularly close to my heart. The Bread Bible brings together an amazing amount of useful information with many many great and trustworthy recipes--you can always count on a recipe by Rose, and her attention to every detail. For a baker like me, this book is heavenly, just as the title promises." —Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice

"A quotation that I apparently utter with the repetitiveness of a mantra is Escoffier's declaration that 'The art of cookery is the constant expression of the present.' Trust Rose to understand this fully, as she uninterruptedly demonstrates with constant pitch-perfect responses to the craving for technical know-how of today's younger generations. . . .The years this oeuvre has taken, the author concludes, she now looks back on as a humbling as well as an elevating experience, 'opening the way for a lifetime of continued discovery,' a path that readers, taking her hand, can follow too, to the end of their bread enlightened days."—Michael Batterberry, founding editor of Food Arts and Food & Wine magazines, from the foreword to The Bread Bible

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.
