One of the world's greatest authorities on Chinese cookery, Ken Hom presents this wonderful collection of over 150 recipes. Gratifyingly simple to cook and delicious to eat, the recipes are enriched with the history of a culture where food is the centre of family life and are interwoven with Ken's warm, personal memories of his childhood days in Chicago's Chinatown.
Ken Hom recalls the fresh, flavourful, easily cooked meals that his working mother prepared for him day after day, as well as a selection of dishes for special occasions and family recipes from friends such as Amy Tan. He conjures up the smells, tastes and textures of his boyhood favorites -Silly Bean Curd Soup, delectable Black Bean Chicken Wings and comforting Rice with Chinese Sausage - and shows how to recreate them today.
