The Chinese Takeout Cookbook now on Amazon!

By on June 4, 2012 in Blog

I have some exciting news to share! My cookbook is now finally available on Amazon! Entitled The Chinese Takeout Cookbook, it’ll be released on December 11, 2012 and will feature 80+ recipes for making Chinese takeout better at home, using all-natural ingredients and tried-and-true methods.

I’ve been very giddy since seeing it on Amazon over the weekend at a friend’s house. Almost two years ago, in July of 2010, I started working on a book proposal with an idea in mind for a cookbook that celebrates Chinese food in the US. Still, it was unfathomable how quickly this would all take shape (with all the recipe testing and photography and food-styling) and that two years later I’d be jumping up and down in excitement seeing my book available for pre-order.

It’s been a crazy, fun, intense, caffeine-fueled two years, and I’m so happy you guys have been along for the ride! It’d be so wonderful and a huge help if you could check out the cookbook and “like” on Amazon. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey!

    Congratulations! I’ve been following your blog since I found it a year ago looking for a water spinach recipe. Everything I’ve made has been fantastic and received rave reviews from the people I fed. Particularly your hibiscus mojito, which saved the day and put smiles on faces during the disastrous Tour de Queens ride last year.

    Looking forward to receiving my copy!

    Thank you so much for all the comments!

    Justin – Wow, you served hibiscus mojitos during the Tour de Queens? I’m so glad to have been a tiny part of that!

    SteveF – Thanks for your question! The release in December will be in the US, and it’ll most likely be available in overseas bookstores too. There might be UK and other international versions in the future, and I’ll be sure to post an update as soon as I hear anything!

    Hi Diana! It was so great to meet you on Thursday. I wish I could have picked up some of your Chinese food expertise while we were talking, but it sounds like I’ll just have to buy your book! It’s at the top of my wish list. Please stay in touch!
