Best vegan authentic chinese cookbook
A godsend and exactly the book I was looking for. Authentic Chinese cuisine written by a well-informed author who trained in China. Every recipe is delicious and the history behind the foods are explained in a really engaging way. Thank you, Hannah!!

Beautifully written and produced!
So often it is hit-and-miss when ordering books without actually holding them and leafing through them. I have received books that I was able to review online but the content didn't hold up to closer inspection after received. A huge gap is often in the formatting of the recipes.This book is lovely. It is beautifully written. The photographs are splendid. The formatting is obviously professionally produced.I often gift books to others, and this one is my next choice for a few friends who share my interests.Well done!

Excellent Cookbook
This is an excellent cookbook. Every recipe (as far as I can tell) has an accompanying full page, beautiful photograph of the finished dish and the instructions are clearly written and accessible. I have made about ten or so recipes so far, and best of all, the recipes work.I'm a decent home cook, but I've previously struggled with cooking Chinese food, as even though I love eating it, the cooking techniques and some of the ingredients are not super familiar to me. My partner is Chinese and I do most of the cooking at home, so I really wanted to get better at it. Her family eats mostly vegetarian (though they wouldn't describe themselves as such) and she was vegan and then vegetarian for many years, so I was drawn to this book in particular for ideas for things she would like.It's been a hit! Everything I've made so far has been delicious, and she's often surprised and delighted that the pick(s) of the night are something she remembers her parents making, but hasn't had in years. China is a big country with many local cooking styles and dishes, so some of the recipes I've made from this book are not things she grew up eating, but she has liked them too. I am looking forward to trying out some of the more ambitious recipes, like the stuffed steamed buns and the roast "goose". There is even a recipe for my personal favorite Chinese dish, the stuffed chive pocket, which my partner's mother makes almost every time we visit.

Tasty Recipes
Love this cookbook. We have made several of the vegetarian dishes in the book and they're fairly easy to make and very tasty. So far our favorites have been the two Chinese eggplant dishes. Look forward to more recipes.

Beautiful Book!
This is so beautifully written with wonderful pictures and the stories throughout really personalize her quest. A lot of the recipes were not my cup of tea for one reason or another, but was worth it just to read her tales...
