You should check out The Fortune Cookie Chronicles ... I think you'll really enjoy it if you're searching for some authenticity!

I remember I took some Chinese visitors to a Chinese restaurant in the US and they turned their nose at all the fried food. Fortunately the family that owned the restaurant could cook some real traditional Chinese food.

I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years and have travelled extensively across Asia. I loved the way fresh food is used to create healthy cooking recipes

As three out of four of us are allergic to wheat/gluten, rice is always the better alternative. And I never feel like I’ve eaten unless I have lots of rice. So yes, you could definitely say we’re big rice eaters! Mmmmm.

LOL, I can’t say I love rice enough to bring along a rice cooker on my travels. Although it is a good idea if you’re a big rice eater. Especially if you eat a lot of rice.

When “grandmothers, mothers, aunties” teach their recipes, you just can’t get more authentic than that! This is a great review of the book. There is such a growing interest among American home cooks to explore exotic dishes nowadays – this book should sell well!

Wow! What a blog. You have a real knack for making a blog readable and easy on the eyes. Some sites look like train wrecks, but not this one – it’s a pleasure to read. I can’t wait to try out one of the recipes here. I’ll bookmark your site and keep coming back. Keep up the great work, and bon appetit!

Though Asian cuisine is not something that’s a part of my background, I can definitely identify with the pulls and tugs here. My wife is French, and one of the reasons that we got married is because she was impressed by my cooking. My core skills are the American/European cuisines, but I’ve been working on doing more Asian dishes. I’m going to look for this cookbook at the bookstore. Thank you!
