Editor-in-Chief, Lucky Peach
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.
Chef
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.
Founder and owner of NYrture Food
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.
Restaurant critic, author, columnist
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.
Food writer
Another paradigm-shifter of a book. Chang doesn’t give a fig for ‘authenticity’, whatever that means. The result: easy-to-recreate deliciousness.
Chef and food writer
As Chang himself might put it: a fucking fantastic book. Hip, brash and full of new ideas and insanely genius recipes.
Food Blogger
It's beautiful, it's inspirational and I have yet to try my hand at homemade ramen noodles.
