Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From David Chang, currently the hottest chef in the culinary world, comes 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Momofuku by David Chang has been praised as a brilliant and technically impressive cookbook, showcasing Chang's youthful and unpretentious cooking style. It is described as an exciting and essential purchase, blending elements of fusion food with localism. The book's appeal has been likened to a mix of a young Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain, enriched with the flavours of chilli and kimchi.
