Momofuku
says
Gain an insight into the workings (and top-notch recipes) of David Chang's legendary restaurants. Read about Chang's early noodles obsession, the story of how the original noodle bar came to be and try the ultimate Momofuku Ramen recipe, all accompanied by beautiful shots of the action in the restaurant and its vibrant food. Noodles, pork, sauces, pickles, cold-smoking, plus… 'meat glue'!
from the publisher
From David Chang, currently the hottest chef in the culinary world, comes this his first book, written with New York Times food critic Peter Meehan, packed full of ingeniously creative recipes. Already a sensational world star, Chang produces a buzzing fusion of Korean/Asian and Western cuisine, creating a style of food which defies easy categorisation. That it is fantastic, there is no doubt, and that it is eminently cookable, there is also no doubt! In the words of Chang himself, it is‚ 'bad pseudo-fusion cuisine'! The vibrant, urban feel of the book is teamed perfectly with clear and insightful writing that is both witty and accessible. Backed by undeniably informed technique and a clearly passionate advocation of cutting-edge fusion cooking, Chang's Momofuku is a stunning, no-holds barred, debut.

This book demonstrated to me exactly how far food has come as a cultural institution. Here were two guys who were interested and knowledgable about so much more than food, and who had a story to tell. Their cookbook was a great book, not just a great cookbook, and that really shifted the earth underneath my feet.

If there was ever a cookbook that captured the grit & grind aspect of its restaurant and chef, this was it. Meehan perfectly documented the culture and ethos of Chang and the incredible DIY culture and hustle of Momofuku. Hugely influential to countless of chefs and restaurants today.

I've been a hardcore fan of Momofuku & co. ever since being one of their very first ramen bar customers. Love his creative, casual and critical approach, a fun read as well.

Kind of the White Heat of the noughties. Much of what we’re eating around the world started life here. Very conscientiously written, tested and researched.
Michael Booth

Another paradigm-shifter of a book. Chang doesn’t give a fig for ‘authenticity’, whatever that means. The result: easy-to-recreate deliciousness.
Gizzi Erskine

As Chang himself might put it: a fucking fantastic book. Hip, brash and full of new ideas and insanely genius recipes.

It's beautiful, it's inspirational and I have yet to try my hand at homemade ramen noodles.
