Oh boy. You think you've had dessert, and then you read this cookbook. From Compost Cookies to Cereal Milk and Crack Pie, these pages are filled with decadence. Not so heavy on the pictures, and very simple in the text, I loved the two things I made from the book: Cornflake-Marshmallow-Chocolate-Chip cookies and Crack Pie. Let me just say, the Crack Pie is highly habit-forming and you might pawn something to taste it again. I will be buying this book the next time I'm in the mood for about a pound of butter in one serving!!! Decadence defined. I know a lot of people dislike this book because it is: (1)super hipster, (2)ridiculous, and (3)full of "hard to get" ingredients. Well I'm not going to argue with that. Anyone who would pay money for a bottle of milk soaked in cereal deserves to live in Portland. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind living in Portland, so there we are.Anyways.I've only ever made one thing out of this book (the malt hot fudge sauce), but I've made it approximately once a week for the last three months. All the other pages are pristine and perfect, and the hot fudge sauce page looks like the centrefold page of a teenager's secret playboy. So I liked it. I haven't been that interested in trying anything, but most of the recipes look pretty simple to perform, despite their weird ingredients. If you don't know where to find malt powder in your town, then maybe you should take a quick glance through a book before you buy it.
What do You think about Momofuku Milk Bar (2011)?
Not exactly the most practical of cookbooks but a really fun read!
