Food blogger Kristina Cho (eatchofood.com) introduces you to Chinese bakery cooking with fresh, simple interpretations of classic recipes for the modern baker.
Inside, you’ll find sweet and savory baked buns, steamed buns, Chinese breads, unique cookies, whimsical cakes, juicy dumplings, Chinese breakfast dishes, and drinks. Recipes for steamed BBQ pork buns, pineapple buns with a thick slice of butter, silky smooth milk tea, and chocolate Swiss rolls all make an appearance--because a book about Chinese bakeries wouldn’t be complete without them
In Mooncakes & Milk Bread, Kristina teaches you to whip up these delicacies like a pro, including how to:
Knead dough without a stand mixerAvoid collapsed steamed bunsInfuse creams and custards with aromatic tea flavorsMix the most workable dumpling doughPleat dumplings like an Asian grandma
This is the first book to exclusively focus on Chinese bakeries and cafés, but it isn’t just for those nostalgic for Chinese bakeshop foods--it’s for all home bakers who want exciting new recipes to add to their repertoires.

Title: One of my favorite cookbooks!
Review: First, I found this cookbook at the local library and kept borrowing it, so I finally decided to get my own copy, and Iâm happy I did.This book includes not only bread recipes but also savory Chinese buns and dumplings (It's like "Buy one get one free"). With many beautiful photos, this book is enjoyable to read and inspires me to bake and cook. I love that some recipes have step-by-step photos, making them easy to follow. I recently bought a mold for mooncakes, so I am excited to try out her recipe soon!

Title: Good recipes
Review: I like reading cookbooks and this one was interesting. It's inspired by Chinese bakeries. I wanted the orange sponge cake from SF Chinatown bakeries, but it's not there. But there are other recipes for dan tat and pineapple bun. Overall, a good recipe book.

Title: This is a fabulous cookbook! Outstanding for the experienced, or beginner baker and cook.
Review: If you bake bread, you need it. It will improve your skills even if you have been baking for decades.If you want to improve your Asian cooking skills, it is a great step by step teacher.The recipes for Mo and Xiâan-Style Braised Lamb Ro Jia Mao (Chinese Hamburgers) are worth the cost of the cookbook alone.Mo is basically a Chinese hamburger bun. The Rou jia mo is basically a sloppy joe filling made with lamb stew meat. (Anything that makes lamb super tasty is great in my opinion. I am not a big lamb fan.)I plan to try the Ro jia mo recipe with pork and with beef also.I have tried about half a dozen of the recipes so far. They all have been absolutely delicious and easy to execute if you follow the directions.They are plenty of illustrations to show you what the finished dish should look like and how it should be folded, tucked, rolled, etc. during the process.Normally, if I find one or two recipes that interest me in a cookbook, I am happy.I have so many recipes bookmarked to try I am going to have to just work my way through the cookbook one recipe at a time.I highly recommend you try the Crispy Chinese Sausage and Cilantro Pancakes. Yum! I did not have any Chinese Sausage, but I suspect just about any sausage will work. The four or five kinds I have tried so far using this recipe have made for outstanding pancakes. Just drizzle or dip them in a tiny bit of chili oil. Delicious.I love the recipe for Moo Shu Wrappers. Easy and delicious thin little wrappers (tortilla like wrappers) are the end result.Fabulous cookbook. Try it!

Title: Recipes seem fun, but poor production
Review: With all the supply issues over the holidays I don't fault them much for the lateness in receiving it (took about three weeks but considering everything that wasn't too bad; I expected it). The recipes look good and fun to try. Unfortunately, the printer lobbed off the top inch or so of the pages so that the text butts up against to edge. I looked at the pages and none of the text appears to have been cut off but looks terrible and this is a gift. Printer just needs better quality control. I hope the publisher was alerted and were able to get a refund. I realize this tells you nothing about the contents. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but recipes look good and easy to follow and, hey, that's the point of a cookbook! Just know that they must have had some quality control issues at the printer.

Title: Comprehensive!
Review: This book is thorough. I have not used these recipes yet, but after 4 decades of cooking, I have plenty of confidence in these recipes.The intro, recipe descriptions, and information on cultural baking customs make Mooncakes & Milkbread a comprehensive treatment of Chinese American baking as a subset of Chinese bakingSome cookbooks just list recipes. This one explores the culinary culture of Chinese bakeries in the US-a modern, western influenced tradition that is anthropologically discrete from other bakery traditions in the US.The book supplies practical information on how to make all parts of mixed foods. For example, the mooncake section explains how to salt the eggs, make the paste, make golden syrup and make lye water instead of buying any of it premade, though thats an option.Explanations are clear, frequent photos are in color and well laid out as a compliment to the text.

Review: Absolutely lovely book, amazing images and relatively clear instructions.Everything I've made from it so far has been delicious.My only small gripe is when one recipe refers to another, but says to do the previous recipe until Step [#] , before proceeding with the current one, I can get a bit thrown off.Reason being is that none of the steps are numbered, so you are left assuming that each step relates to a paragraph, but feeling a bit uncertain, as some paragraphs seem to contain what would often be different steps in a different recipe. So you kind of wonder if your assumption is correct to what the author meant, and why they hadn't actually numbered them in the first place if they were going to refer to things that way (it's odd since everything else in the book is very clear).This would be less confusing for someone that had done similar recipes before and are more confident, but when you're new to it, it can cause you to pause for a moment trying to sort it out.

Review: Prodotti da forno salati e dolci, con complemento di numerose ricette di ispirazione popolare rivisitate con fantasia e cura e un tocco USA soprattutto nelle torte (ma che non scontenterà nessuno); ottimi i mooncakes e i bao buns, con un occhio particolarmente felice per la resa estetica.Libro acclamato dalla critica, vincitore del James Beard Award per il 2022.
