BAO
Part manifesto, part cookbook, BAO’s first book is a declaration of their intentions, what’s important to them and an explanation of why and how they do the things they do and cook the dishes we love.
The book explores the individual styles of eating at each of their restaurants and how they are inspired by their travels and Asian culture. They wanted to immerse readers in their world, revealing the inner workings of their brand and the concepts behind the restaurants, as well as introducing the School of BAO, Erchen’s Lonely Man, and embracing solitude.
The pages include 100 of BAO’s recipes, from traditional steamed buns to noodles, xiao chi, dumplings, and drinks, and transport readers to the heart of the BAO world, telling stories of culture through mastery and artistry, crafted in, and embodied by, that three-letter word — BAO.
