For anyone addicted to crack pie®, compost cookies®, and cake truffles, here are their savory counterparts—such as Kimcheezits with Blue Cheese Dip, Burnt Honey–Butter Kale with Sesame Seeds, and Choose Your Own Adventure Chorizo Burgers—along with enough make-at-home sweets to satisfy a cookie-a-day habit. Join Christina and friends as they cook their way through “weaknights,” sleepovers, and late-night snack attacks to make mind-blowingly delicious meals with whatever is in the pantry. Review: Christina Tosi shares a slice of her life, leaving the batter bowl for us to lick clean - I had never heard of Milk Bar or Christina Tosi until she appeared on the Master Chef television shows. I enjoy her honesty and candor on the shows, so I suspected I would enjoy her writing, too. I have not been disappointed. I can hear her talking in my ear as I read the recipes and, most importantly, the stories behind the recipes. I can feel her warmth as I mix up something that has impacted her life at some point. In this hurried world of Jiffy Mix Cornbread, I can relate when she figures out how to make baked goods even more 'from scratch' than the ones from her youth. Of course, I'll probably still use Jiffy Mix, but it's nice to know Christina has it figured out for a day when I run out of Jiffy Mix!! One of the most interesting things about this book is the way the chapter are used. It's not your normal cookbook where each course gets its own chapter. Oh no. Each chapter is, instead, an experience in life. For example, there is a chapter called Hand Me Downs. These are the recipes she got from her family members. These represent home to her and are great recipes to add to your recipe arsenal. Then there is We Are Family, which shares favorite recipes from family meal at her restaurant/bakery. The Going Out chapter are favorite recipes from favorite (and likely hard to get a table) restaurants. The mix is fun, and it is like taking a vicarious foodie tour of NYC, which is really neat for those of us who have never been there. No matter what, the stories are fun, the ingredients aren't totally impossible to find, and the book is a joy to read. Review: Ignore the haterz! - Loved this cookbook even though I'm only really halfway through and was just checking reviews. I've recently added back chef boyardee to my life since I gave up canned soup, jarred sauce, and cup o'noodles six years ago in order to cook ambitiously. They're GOOD and don't take up space in the freezer like all the Marie Callendar s*** is when I really need a WEAK NIGHT meal. As someone who has loved baking cookies and layer cakes out of Momofuku Milk Bar (I need more layer cake recipes, Damnit!), I was definitely not excited to pick this one up. Some Tosi family recipes that I had seen in articles here or there just seemed totally lackluster. But I LOVE Tosi's personality. I've read a lot of f-ing celebrity chef cookbooks and I'm definitely a big fan of Richard Blais, Edward Lee Jr, Stephanie Izard and the like, but Tina Tosi literally and figuratively takes the cake for me. This cookbook probably came at the right time in my dietary evolution where processed foods other than tv dinners, 7-11 nachos, and the somehow very rare fast food joint in Boston isn't beyond my personal taste. I'm totally looking forward to trying my first Spaghettio Sammie even though I can't figure out how Egg Soup is really a soup when it's just an egg. And seriously? the fashionable and well-heeled women in NYC subsist on a single soft-boiled egg and slice of toast for dinner? WTF Obviously if you're reading this expecting Momofuku Milk Bar Vol. 2, you better just delete this out of your cart now. But really it only makes sense that Tosi would write a cookbook using ingredients for the plebians of the world. Who else would've dreamed up Crack Pie or Compost cookies anyway? There are also a couple MMB-style cookies in here. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #907,101 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #144 in Frozen Dessert Recipes #818 in U.S. Regional Cooking, Food & Wine #886 in Dessert Baking (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Milk Bar Life: Recipes & Stories: A Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zcAEqQ4CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christina Tosi shares a slice of her life, leaving the batter bowl for us to lick clean *by T***F on January 19, 2016* I had never heard of Milk Bar or Christina Tosi until she appeared on the Master Chef television shows.

Nevertheless, I thought I would still post a mini-review. I bought the previous book, Momofuku Milk Bar, when it was on sale for Kindle. I believed from reading the reviews, and looking at the online sample, that I would not like the book, and I was right!!! The recipes were too weird (or adventurous depending on your POV) and methods too long-winded for my liking. I only kept the Kindle book because it was on sale, otherwise if I had paid full price I would have returned it. Others have criticized this newer book because they find that the recipes are too simple, but this is why I really like it! The flavors of the recipes I have perused so far, are more normal and the methods more achievable for my level of baking/cooking (ie intermediate level home cook). There are some recipes which use store bought ingredients, which I will not make, but they are there for those who do. So far from what I’ve noticed, since I haven’t done any counting, most recipes are made from scratch. I’m appreciating this cookbook far more than Momofuku, because it caters more to my taste and level of ability. The only thing that I do find irritating are the irrelevant and sometimes kitschy photos of the people, though others might find them amusing. This is a cookbook after all, and I prefer to look at pictures of the food that’s being baked/cooked and the finished product. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/106689213-milk-bar-life-recipes-and-stories-a-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/106689213-milk-bar-life-recipes-and-stories-a-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
