Promising review: “Yes, this book is beautiful, the recipes are well-written, the diversity of recipes is amazing, but most importantly, this book reminds me of all the foods that my parents and grandparents made for me. Most Chinese cookbooks simply do not reflect what I ate growing up. My husband asks me why don’t I cook Chinese more often…it’s because most cookbooks don’t have recipes of what I grew up eating. Now I have real recipes with real instructions and proportions for the most basic red cooked pork belly, steamed egg, wontons, stir-fried veggies, even pickling my own snow vegetables!
Because of the way that Betty has included Chinese characters, pinyin and English, I know exactly which dish she is talking about. As a Chinese-American, this cookbook speaks deeply to me. If I were to write a cookbook, this is what I would have written, but thankfully the amazingly talented Betty Liu has done it first so I am forever grateful that she took the time to do this. Seriously, just buy it!” —AmiTashie
