Chos book is so smart and thorough, Im not sure well need another book on the topic anytime soon. – The New York Times

InMooncakes & Milk Bread, food blogger Kristina Cho (eatchofood.com) introduces readers to Chinese bakery cooking with fresh, uncomplicated interpretations of classic recipes for the modern baker.

Inside, youll 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 wouldnt be complete without them!

Kristina teaches you to whip up these delicacies like a pro, including how to:

• Knead dough without a stand mixer
• Avoid collapsed steamed buns
• Infuse creams and custards with aromatic tea flavors
• Mix the most workable dumpling dough
• Pleat dumplings like an Asian grandma

This is the first book to exclusively focus on Chinese bakeries and cafs, but it isnt just for those nostalgic for Chinese bakeshop foods–its for all home bakers who want exciting new recipes to add to their repertoires.
