I have three fun titles for one of you.
Milk Bar Life by Christina Tosi is a fun quirky book by the author of Momofuku Milk Bar. It includes recipes like kimchi quesadillas, burnt honey butter kale with sesame seeds, pumpkin gooey butter cake, salt and pepper cookies, hijacked Biscoff cookies, rosemary jelly, smoked cantaloupe jam, blueberry miso jelly, sweet and sour red onion jam, Milk Bar English muffins (to soak up the jam), chicken fat biscuits — about as wide a variety as you can get everything from blue cheese pretzels to roast chicken dinner and more.
Jerusalem by Ottolenghi – not much to say here. It’s Ottolenghi – the poster boy for cool, flavorful food. Jerusalem is a mix of both vegetarian and meat inclusive dishes.
L.A. Son by Roy Choi is part memoir, part cookbook. You have to love a book whose first sentence is “HELLO. I’M ROY. Get in. We’re going for a ride.” It’s a little Korean, a little Mexican, a lot street food and Buttermilk Pancakes thrown in for the hell of it. It’s all good.

I want all three but the one that I’ve been wanting awhile is Milk Bar Life. I’ve been to momofuku milk bar and even c was delicious.
i would love milk bar life
Jerusalem. 🙂 That book is on my list.
Mmmmm, Milk Bar! Sounds yummy!
Milk Bar Life, she’s so fun!
Jerusalem for me!
They are all equally intriguing to me, but if I have to choose one, I’d choose Jerusalem…I may change my mind tomorrow.
L. A. Son is one I want though I want Jerusalem too.. but Roy Choi”s book I want more.
Jerusalem. I honestly don’t know why I don’t have it already.
Milk Bar Life!
Ottolenghi’s cookbook Jerusalem. He has been someone I have been hearing about for a long time. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jerusalem sounds great–I have Plenty and love it.
Jerusalem is the one I’d cook from the most.
They all sound great but I’m most intrigued by LA Son.
I want them all of course, but out of the three I would choose L.A. Son by Roy Choi first.
Milk Bar Life. It’s been on my list a long while! Sounds amazing!!!
I think I’m most interested in the Choi book.
Split decision– loved the movie “Chef” so Roy Choi appeals to me, and any and all bakery/ cookie cookbooks are my first love.
Ohhh all three! But I’ve been wanting Roy Choi’s the longest.
Jerusalem, definitely, though the other two really sound great, too.
The MilkBar Life. Although all three sound interesting!
Milk Bar Life-since I already have Jerusalem, But LA Son would do fine, too.
I would love a copy of Jerusalem!
All are interesting, the stories in Roy’s book might make it a good read, but then again I usually read cookbooks like people read romance novels! LOL!
A daily comment? In review, they all have my interest!
Teaching my college-bound son how to cook something besides ramen noodles. These would be a great help!
I would say Jerusalem, but I’ve been on such a baking kick lately I have to go with milk bar life!
I would love Milk Bar Life!
I’m watching Christina on Masterchefevery week, so her book would be very welcome.
Milk Bar Life 🙂
Daily entry
Roy Choi sounds like a hoot!
I have Milk Bar Life but I’d love to have the other two. If I had to choose just one LA Life since I love Korean food and lived in LA for awhile.
Roy Choi please, I love his Kogi tacos!
I’d truly love any one of them, but I would be especially thrilled if I got Milk Bar!
I need all three!
Jerusalem hands down!
I love fusion food.. especially Asian fusion! I want Roy Choi..though any of the three would do!

I would love them all but if I could only have one or would be Milk Bar Life. I love Christina Tosi.
Thanks again for a great giveaway. All three books look great, but I’d be curious to see the Milk Bar book recipes. I’ve heard good things about it.
For me, it’s Roy Choi, please!
They all look great but I’m most looking forward to Milk Bar Life. I’ve been hearing about Milk Bar for forever and am so intrigued by it.
