Christina Tosi is the chef, owner and founder of Milk Bar, called “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country” by Bon Appetit magazine.
Milk Bar is the sister bakery of the Momofuku restaurant group, founded by 2012 James Beard Rising Star Chef of the Year and 2015 James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef award-winner, Christina Tosi. Since its opening in 2008, Milk Bar has focused on putting a playfully American, approachable spin on familiar homestyle desserts and savory snacks using quality ingredients and locally sourced dairy.
As founder of the dessert program at Momofuku, Christina got her start helping Momofuku Ko earn two stars from the Michelin Guide and Momofuku Ssäm jump onto Restaurant Magazine’s Top 100 Restaurants in the World list. She is the judge on Fox’s MasterChef and MasterChef Junior, and she also serves on the Board of Directors for Hot Bread Kitchen and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. She is the author of two cookbooks, her most recent released in April 2015, called Milk Bar Life, which highlights the fun-loving culture of Milk Bar through sweet and savory recipes, as well as good ol’-fashioned storytelling.
Christina lives in Brooklyn, New York with her two dogs and eats an unconscionable amount of raw cookie dough every day.
