Chinese Enough

A great resource for everything from easy weeknight meals to project cooking for the whole family. Kristina Cho introduces the reader to traditional ingredients . . . I am so ready to add thousand-year-old eggs to my grocery list.
 

Chinese Enough is Kristina’s nuanced journey of creating a cuisine and culture that is all hers—and for everyone. The food is sensational (the dessert chapter, unsurprisingly, is a real knockout), the writing calm and soothing, and the ideas creative and immersive. But to get such a rich glimpse into Kristina’s personal history and her warmhearted reflections is a real bonus, and a true gift.

A delicious and poignant exploration of identity, culture, and family, and how these things indelibly shape the food that we cook. Chinese Enough is Kristina Cho’s culinary coming-of-age, an evocative, joyful, and utterly modern celebration of what it means to exist, and cook, between two cultures.

Kristina's comforting approach will have readers making dumplings from scratch in no time.

Chinese Enough serves as a universal hug to anyone who has ever felt that pervading sense of not being quite enough of any one identity. Kristina’s recipes, both warmly familiar and original, are a healing balm. I am thrilled to add Chinese Enough to my shelf of most-reached-for cookbooks.
