A BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR: New York Times • Serious Eats

James Beard Award winner Kevin Pang and his dad, Jeffrey—hosts of America’s Test Kitchen’s Hunger Pangs—teach you Chinese cooking in funny stories and 100+ recipes “doable for any cook” (New York Times).

Kevin and Jeffrey Pang share over 100 American Chinese classics, Sichuan street foods, and dim sum favorites! Full of charming stories of growing up in Hong Kong and time-tested insights from the duo’s lifelong love of cooking, A Very Chinese Cookbook is more than a Chinese recipe book—it’s a heartfelt ode to Chinese food, family, and identity. Inside, you’ll find:

• 100+ Chinese recipes covering Cantonese, Sichuan, American Chinese, and other regions
• Personal stories and insights on Chinese culinary history you won’t find anywhere else!
• Easy-to-follow instructions and photos outlining basic Chinese cooking techniques
• A Chinatown shopping guide to help you find the best soy sauce, vinegar, and more

Pairing America's Test Kitchen's rigorously-tested recipes with the Pangs’ signature mix of humor and instruction, this multi-generational cookbook is very practical, very personal, and very Chinese indeed.
