Momofuku (cookbook)
Momofuku (ISBN 030745195X) is a cookbook by American award-winning chef David Chang and The New York Times food writer Peter Meehan. The book was released in October 2009 by Clarkson Potter, a subsidiary of Random House. In addition to describing unique Asian-American recipes centered on the ramen noodle, the book tells the trials and tribulations of launching Chang's popular New York City restaurants. Chang, a three-time James Beard Award winner, gives a colorful behind the scene description of food preparation in a busy restaurant kitchen.[1][2][3] The book is illustrated by photo journalist Gabriele Stabile with images of the dishes and the scenes of the chef and staff in the restaurants.[4]
Contents
The book has three chapters—Noodle Bar, Ssam Bar, and Ko—named after Momofuku's New York City restaurants. Each part describes the history of a restaurant and features recipes from the establishment.[4] When writing about the recipes, Chang credits the team of people who actually developed them.[5]
