Mokonuts

The Best New Cookbooks of Fall 2025, According to Eater Editors | Eater

"One of the most memorable meals I’ve had was lunch at Mokonuts, an intimate Japanese-Lebanese restaurant in Paris where a soothing, brothy meat dish with bread, red wine, and amazing cookies felt like a perfect, cozy representation of Parisian food; the restaurant’s eponymous cookbook gathers its best, ever-fluctuating recipes (Koreitem on savory, Hirayama on sweets and breakfast), reflecting the owners’ Lebanese, Japanese, American, British, and Parisian influences — some recipes are ambitious (shucking scallops, fileting trout, breaking down pigeons) while others are approachable, including the famed labneh, elegant dishes like eggs with peas and sea urchin, and savory breakfast options such as spicy avocado melts and Mokotecao cookies that invite customization." - Bettina Makalintal
