I can't think of a community that couldn't benefit from communal thinking.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When I'm menu-developing at Milk Bar, I'll go for weeks at a time where all I'm doing is testing out layer cakes or different cookies and testing out changes.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Every time I baked cookies for people as a kid, it made me so happy. But when I was in culinary school and working in fine-dining restaurants, that was not a thing.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
As a boss, as a CEO, as a creative director, as a chef, I've learned that failure will always come. I've learned to give it a big squeeze, smile at it, humble myself to it and then use it as a springboard to send me on my way to strength, success, and fulfillment.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Being humble is one of the most important things, and not being afraid to put yourself out there is important. I think really successful chefs put themselves out there on a daily basis.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
The 'Momofuku Milk Bar' cookbook is rather technical. I wanted it to feel like you were walking into the doors of our kitchen, it was your first day at work, and we were going to teach you everything.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
For me, I love Portland. I love the food scene, I love the vibe, the environment.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
The matriarchs of my family loved to bake, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Baking became something I did every day; it became a time where my creative and nurturing side took stage.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I'm a fan of the hand-me-down recipes - friends, family, bake sales, community cookbooks - those are the recipes that have withstood the test of time and fed many hungry fans.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I worked in a bunch of really tough kitchens, but when I got yelled at and screamed at, it wasn't really for being a woman. It was just for making a bonehead mistake.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
At first, learning to bake was purely selfish, but I quickly learned I can't eat every batch of cookies myself, so I would bake and eat what I wanted and give the rest away. I fell in love with feeding others as much as I loved eating sweets myself.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Nothing feels better then to sit down on a six-hour flight with tired muscles from a workout.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Failure gets a bad rap, but I'd like to change that. Failure is necessary. Let it in. Chew it up, and use it as fuel for your soul.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
My curiosity and love for food started at an early age. My mother was a working mom, so I learned to whip up sweet and savory food using everyday pantry and grocery store ingredients that required little supervision.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
You can't do a good deal with bad people, and you can't do a bad deal with good people. I often use that as my compass.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Be your own biggest critic. Don't let someone else beat you to constructive criticism.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Any team member, any community member wants and needs to know they count, that they're welcome, and that they're important.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When I opened Milk Bar in November 2008, I was quite adamant about making sure the bakery was an honest reflection of life and food through my eyes. I had no intention beyond that.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I make a huge batch of cinnamon buns on Christmas Eve and bake them off early Christmas morning.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Whether I'm making a gluten-free cookie or a lactose-free milkshake, my end goal is always to make it so awesome, clever, and creative that you'll want to indulge whether you have a sensitivity, dietary nuance, or don't.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I guess technically I am a female chef, but I don't really think of myself as such.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
There are so many messages out there about what you should be eating and drinking and what you should be putting in your body at the beginning of the day. It's confusing, and people get very overwhelmed. Really, one of the greatest options is just a bowl of cereal and milk.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Eating together was a big part of my upbringing and a tradition we keep daily amongst the amazing team at Milk Bar.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I love cookbooks. I certainly have my fair share at home, but I'm a really funny cookbook person: I don't really ever cook out of cookbooks. I like cookbooks for the commentary or the pictures or the history.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I feel like a lot of the pastry chefs and chefs I worked for and worked under were always really, really big on the philosophy of 'everyone's in it together in the food world.'
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When I was about to graduate, I asked myself, 'What could you do every day and never get sick of?' My answer was really simple: Make cookies.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Baking without gluten is an awesome challenge in terms of the opportunity to learn so much more about what you can create.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
As a chef, I got into this because I love the creative energy and I love the science, but I also love to feed people and make them happy.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Nothing could be lovelier than running across the Golden Gate Bridge in the middle of the fog.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I have this nook at Milk Bar that's my office, and my desk was just full of every box of Kellogg's cereal, and at different times during the day, I would open up a box, eat a bowl of cereal, and I live in a world of Post-it notes, so I would leave tasting notes on all the cereal.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I need healthy options around, or else if I get hungry, I'll go straight for a cookie.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
There is no right or wrong way to pair or prepare a dessert. Follow your instincts, edit, and taste-tweak-taste until you get it just right!
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I was an infamously picky eater as a child but also had an infamous sweet tooth. All I wanted was dessert for every meal of the day.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
There's something about fall that very much translates into those nurturing, nostalgic food flavors. It's the season where you can really make the marriage of fresh produce with spices and aromatics.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I chose a career in the kitchen because the thought of sitting and doing the same thing every day and being stationary was not something that I could get my head around.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Know who you are and stay true to it. Have a point of view, keep your head down when noise tries to drown out your inner voice, and whatever you do, keep pushing.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Nike Air Zooms are what I usually run in. In the kitchen, I wear a beaten-up pair of Converse All-Stars in winter and Keds in summer.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When I get up early, I appreciate the quiet time to enjoy a coffee or water my plants.
