Mooncake Magic with Kristina Cho

The Crumb - Bake from Scratch

Brian and Kyle Grace talk with Kristina Cho about the delicious world of Asian baking. Kristina brings us right into Mid-Autumn Festival with her first cookbook release: Mooncakes & Milk Bread: Sweet and Savory Recipes Inspired by Chinese Bakeries. From gao (cakes and tarts) to tangzhong-crafted milk bread, this book will have you making a dash to your nearest Asian grocer. Plus, Kristina offers some tips on making mooncakes, a classic dessert served during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Warning: be prepared to become obsessed with Hong Kong-style French toast.
