CNN
Kristina Cho's recently published cookbook, "Mooncakes and Milk Bread: Sweet & Savoury Recipes Inspired by Chinese Bakeries," shines the culinary spotlight on the baked goods she grew up eating in Chinese American bakeries.
(CNN) — In an age when Chinese food is no longer foreign to international audiences, with diners willing to embrace its many regional cuisines, there's one culinary area that has yet to receive much attention globally -- baking.
Kristina Cho's recently published "Mooncakes and Milk Bread: Sweet & Savoury Recipes Inspired by Chinese Bakeries" aims to change this by offering a rare collection of recipes inspired by the Chinese American bakeries and cafes she visited as a child.
An architecture graduate and interior designer, Cho turned to baking a few years ago when she couldn't find satisfaction at work, eventually starting her blog, Eat Cho Food.
