Boba is a tutorial guide to the trendy and popular drink with included recipes by Stacey Kwong & Beyah del Mundo. Due out 27th Oct 2020 from Quarto on their Rock Point imprint, it's 144 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
This book is a wonderful resource, especially for fans of bubble tea who find it difficult to source their daily drinks or are thinking about the cost over the long run. Plus it's so much fun to DIY!
It has a nice, easy to follow layout. The introductory chapter and how-to tutorial (~30% of the content) cover the basic hows and whys of the tools, ingredients, and toppings. The following chapters cover the standards: fruit teas, milk teas, and specialty drinks.
Each of the recipes includes an introductory description, ingredients listed in a bullet point sidebar (US measurements with metric/SI units in parentheses *yay*!), step by step instructions, as well a footers with tips and alternatives. One of the high points of the book for me are the photographs. They're high quality and clear - and serving suggestions are appealing and appropriate. Really beautiful drinks.
The recipe ingredients themselves are (mostly) easily sourced and will be available at well stocked grocery stores. There are a very few ingredients which might be a little more difficult to source, but definitely nothing that is 'way out there'.
All in all, -very- well written, beautifully presented drinks, made from (mostly) tasty ingredients which are easily sourced.
Five stars, we'll be revisiting this recipe book often.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
