Chinese Enough by Kristina Cho
€35.00
Chinese Enough by Kristina Cho — author of the award-winning Mooncakes and Milk Bread — is a vibrant, personal, and deeply flavorful exploration of what it means to cook between cultures. As a first-generation American, Cho brings together the flavours of traditional Cantonese home cooking, California ingredients, and a Midwestern upbringing to create 100 recipes that are neither strictly Chinese nor American, but beautifully, meaningfully Chinese enough.
This is a cookbook built around everyday comfort, family rituals, and the joy of discovering your own way of cooking.
Inside, you’ll find:
-
Rice-friendly dishes central to Cantonese cuisine: Triple Pepper Beef, Miso Pork Meatballs, Seared Egg Tofu with Honey & Soy
-
Vegetable-forward recipes that honour Cantonese tradition: Smashed Ranch Cucumbers, Saucy Sesame Long Beans
-
A full noodles chapter, reimagining classics with California creativity: San Francisco Garlic Noodles, Creamy Tomato Udon
-
Banquet-Worthy Dishes that teach the Chinese art of celebration food
-
A step-by-step dumpling guide for cooking together with friends and family
-
Fruit-led desserts, sweet but light — the way Cantonese meals often finish
Between the recipes, Cho weaves tender personal stories: her grandmother’s Chinese garden blooming in the middle of Cleveland, falling in love over dim sum, and finding identity through food.
A joyful, approachable, genre-bending cookbook that celebrates tradition, experimentation and belonging.
