This is my first time reading a cookbook other than the normal one which have directly pictures and the procedure. This has been a great exposure for me to gain knowledge on certain things like shopping and all.

This book is a visual feast!
The photographs add to the visceral experience, a perfect book for a housewarming gift whether or not the recipient likes to cook! There are lots of photos and not just food photos but also images from the market, family photos and illustrations.

Although I hadn't heard of this food blog before I've become a fast fan.

This may be my favorite cookbook every. A little history and culture, lots of tips and how to’s, a little where you can find these things in the U.S. and sooooo many yummy recipes. I vow to make them all, especially with a new Asian market in town.

This book is fantastic! Kristina introduces us to Chinese bakery recipes with clear instructions, simple ingredients, beautiful pictures of the finished product, as well as step by step pictures of how to make each recipe. I love her tips throughout the book and how unique and yummy each recipe looks! Awesome cookbook, especially for those who want to branch out their culinary fares or enjoy a little taste of home!

I just finished reading through Mooncakes and Milk Bread and I have to admit, I'm really hungry! First, the author does a great job of sharing and explaining the list of ingredients as well as necessary tools. She even explains how to navigate an Asian grocery store, which would likely come with a learning curve for many Americans. Next, all of the recipes come with beautiful, mouth-watering photos and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. She also explains the necessity of certain steps and why they must be followed exactly; i.e. how ingredients interact with each other and when being cooked/baked. When Cho shares her own family experience and photos, it gives some authenticity to the recipes and her expertise. While a number of the recipes include variations, it may reach an even broader audience to include vegan and gluten-free options for readers with dietary restrictions. The Coconut Jasmine Cream Buns sound incredible!

Thank you, NetGalley for providing an early read of this book.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS COOKBOK!!!

I’m so happy that I finally found a chinese recipe book that isn’t about noodles, instead this one is all about asian bakery!

The book features many types of recipes: buns, bread, cookies, a whole chapter for moon cakes and even a ‘sips’ chapter.

I really liked the layout with the beautiful pictures of the food. At the beginning there is also an intro that helps you with shopping in an asian grocery store and special ingredients.

The recipes are easy to follow and in some cases there are even step by step photo instruction!

If you like asian cuisine you must get this cookbook!

So many goodies! This book is great and the recipes look amazing. Most of the recipes have photos and they all look mouthwatering! It's easy to follow and everything looks delicious! There are so many recipes in this book! Great for people that loves baking bread from scratch and for those that love Chinese pastries. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is a comprehensive book, over 300 pages, with recipes from many Chinese bakeries. I always thought that Chinese dumplings and steamed buns were complicated and time consuming to make but not so! Anyone who loves Chinese food this book is a must have. Lots of interesting historical background information too. Highly recommended.
