Signing a few display copies at Barnes & Noble
You guys are amazing. Thank you for all the congratulations and spreading news about the book, here on the blog, on Facebook, Twitter, and in person. At the risk of coming off cheesy, it’s really incredibly heart-warming to have such great support from the readers of Appetite for China, some of whom have been reading since the very beginning. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It’s been one month since The Chinese Takeout Cookbook
An unexpectedly large headshot. But so great to be featured in a paper with such wide circulation!
As for events, last night I took part in a cooking demo and book signing at the wonderful BookCourt in Brooklyn. (More pics up to come!) There are other events coming up, including a Chinese Takeout Cookbook Class at the Institute of Culinary Education this coming Sunday, Jan 20th, in which we recreate 8 recipes from the book, including favorites such as egg rolls, sweet and sour pork, and egg drop soup. And I’m planning more events for NY and other cities soon, so stay tuned!
And if you’ve had a chance to enjoy the book so far, it would be so wonderful if you could take a minute to post a review on Amazon to let others know about your experience! Even a short 1 or 2-sentence review would be a great help!
Thank you all so much again for cheering this book on!
Congratulations! I ordered my book off Amazon so it should come any day now! Very excited to cook from it!
I came to your site via another food blog and love the photos here. I’ve never really made Chinese food before except for a stir-fry here and there but always wanted to try. Your cookbook seems like something right up my alley.
I already bought 2 copies for friends for Christmas and now I need a 3rd one for myself! The pictures are beautiful and so enticing. Congratulations for putting together such a wonderful book!
This is really great, congratulations on the success! As New Yorkers, my family always had the Joan Hamburg Show on the radio growing up – you’re a celebrity!
Congratulations on all of your success! I can’t wait to check out the book. I definitely need more egg drop soup in my life! Everyone gets so excited about chicken noodle soup, but I think that egg drop is just the thing I need, with a healthy squeeze of Sriracha, of course.
So VERY proud of you, Diana! I purchased some Sichuan peppercorns this past weekend and am looking forward to recreating your recipes.
So happy for you! The book looks great, going to B&N later today to pic up a copy!
This is pretty cool, I have my own aspirations for writing a book, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Thank you, everyone! It’s been a great experience so far. Crossing my fingers that the momentum continues!
Congratulations! I took one of your dumpling class last year with my boyfriend and it was so much fun. Had so many leftover to bring home too which was nice. :) I’ve been cooking so many recipes from your site. Keep up the great work!
Just catching up on your posts now, this is amazing! I’ve been trying out your recipes for a long time now and each one has been a real treat.
