A once-unrecognizable word, it's now synonymous with the award-winning restaurants of the same name in New York City: Momofuku Noodle Bar, Ssäm Bar, Ko, and Milk Bar. Chef David Chang has single-handedly revolutionized cooking in America with his use of bold Asian flavors and impeccable ingredients, his mastery of the humble ramen noodle, and his thorough devotion to pork.
Momofuku is both the story and the recipes behind the cuisine that has changed the modern-day culinary landscape. Chang relays with candor the tale of his unwitting rise to superstardom, which, though wracked with mishaps, happened at light speed. And the dishes shared in this book are coveted by all who've dined—or yearned to—at any Momofuku location (yes, the pork buns are here). This is a must-read for anyone who truly enjoys food. | | | Features: | |

 Expletives in a cookbook?Aug 18, 2010
I was shocked to receive this book and find numerous expletives. I do not find them necessary in a cook book purposed to guide the user to replicate well known and loved recipes. I considered keeping this book as a reference, but I would never be able to have my kids assist me in the kitchen using this book as a guide, as they may turn to the wrong page when reading instructions to me and drop the F bomb unintentionally. If this book were subject to MPAA ratings, it would be rated R for the number of times the F word is used alone. I find it unfortunate that the author and editor of this book find our culture to be so saturated with foul language that they feel it necessary to represent themselves and relate to their readers by including those words.
I will say, however, that I have not been able to find the recipes included in this book in any other Asian cook book with such detailed and usable instruction. That is not enough to win me on keeping this book on my shelves.
 My wife loves itJul 09, 2010
I bought the book for my wife and she loves it. She reads it all the time and can not wait to try to cook some of the dishes and also to go to the restaurants in New Y.ork

Best cook book I ever readJun 25, 2010
I read a lot of cook books - Fat Duck, French Laundry, Under Pressure, Alinear, Daniels, etc, etc. This is the only one that kept my attention from the first page to the last and still yearning for more. It is interesting and I found all the recipes are simple enough that I am sure I have no problem using them and in many cases I can put my own spin to it. I am not a chef but a weekend warrior. I highly recommend to all especially any one who like to cook.
 Fun read for aspirational cooksJun 17, 2010
Attractive and interesting cookbook, especially regarding the history of the restaurant and the cook. However, might be impractical for the everyday family cook not living in a big (or international) city due to the availability of ingredients, which may be difficult to obtain (Japanese and Korean ). Good book for those who are interested in ramen and possibly have experience with Momofuku. Almost every recipe has some ingredient that is difficult to get. For example, the Cherry Tomato Salad requires: tofu, mixed cherry tomatoes, sherry vinegar, usukuchi (light soy sauce), Asian sesame oil, grapeseed oil, salt/pepper, and shiso leaves. On the other hand, cooking techniques like "ghetto sous vide" (using Ziploc bags to slowly cook steak to an even temperature) are funny and mildly useful. Final words: The recipes are "aspirational" but it's a fun read.

Exactly what it's supposed to be.Jun 11, 2010
Many reviewers complained that the recipes in this book were too complex. While this is true, it's part of the point. The restaurant business is not easy and neither are these recipes. But kudos to David Chang for sharing his own recipes and kudos to everyone who has tried to make at least one of these delicious dishes(my favorite is the pork buns). Half-biography and half-insane cook book, Momofuku gave me a deep insight and appreication for the sweat and dedication required to build a restaurant from nothing. His cursing made it even more enjoyable.
