Summary

A cookbook celebrating the blending of cultures and identity through food， with a bounty of Chinese-influenced dishes from all over South-East Asia

As immigrants with Chinese heritage， Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu spent their formative years living between （at least） two cultures and wondering how they fitted in。 Food was a huge part of this journey; should they cling to the traditional comfort of their parents’ varied culinary heritage， attempt to assimilate wholly by learning to love mashed potatoes， or forge a new path where flavor and the freedom to choose trumped authenticity？ They went with option three。

Chinese-ish celebrates the confident blending of culture and identity through food—take what you love and reject what doesn't work for you。 You’ll find a bounty of inauthentic Chinese-influenced dishes from all over South-East Asia， including all the best rice and noodle dishes， wontons， and dumplings。 There are also plenty of tips and shortcuts to demystify any tricky-sounding techniques， and a reassuring list of pantry staples and where to find them。

Old dishes I've learnt from my parents， actually written down。 A bunch of the stuff I knew how to make， having my very Chinese ancestors whispering in my ears， in a format my very white， very 'what's the recipe' husband can understand。Godsend。 Truly godsend。 Old dishes I've learnt from my parents， actually written down。 A bunch of the stuff I knew how to make， having my very Chinese ancestors whispering in my ears， in a format my very white， very 'what's the recipe' husband can understand。Godsend。 Truly godsend。 。。。more

HiI'm a huge lover of Chinese food so was delighted to be taking part in the tour。I'm definitely going to be buying myself a copy of this for the shelf as there were so many fantastic meal ideas and authentic ways of cooking them。I wish there had been more images of the dishes， maybe one alongside each recipe。 But hey， it still made me drool at the delicious looking food。 My personal favourites include the Mango Pudding and all of the steamed dumpling recipes sound divine。 You also get snippets HiI'm a huge lover of Chinese food so was delighted to be taking part in the tour。I'm definitely going to be buying myself a copy of this for the shelf as there were so many fantastic meal ideas and authentic ways of cooking them。I wish there had been more images of the dishes， maybe one alongside each recipe。 But hey， it still made me drool at the delicious looking food。 My personal favourites include the Mango Pudding and all of the steamed dumpling recipes sound divine。 You also get snippets of the author's lives and how they became foodies。 I read from the Netgalley version， which was pretty chopped about and you couldn't appreciate the full beauty of the book from a screen。 。。。more
