Okay so I requested this book basically immediately after reading WINNIE ZENG UNLEASHES A LEGEND, so, there’s my readalike and recommendation. This is a very cozy baking book that emphasizes sharing Chinese American stories through a Chinese American lens; mixing illustrations with photography, each with just the right amount. It focuses a lot on making […]
I really like the pictures and photography in this book, and I like the themeing and some of the essays included with the recipes. Unfortunately, there is way too much cross-referencing other recipes with each other in this book – every time you’re like “oh, there’s only six ingredients in this recipe” they’re like “oh […]
This book is incredible. The beginning of the book notes for “bottled, canned, and frozen food swaps” and makes recommendations. There’s a section for “Cooking with limited energy or mobility” as well as an entire chapter for this: More food, less work. And I think that she follows up on this throughout the course of […]

I didn’t attempt any of the recipes in this book, but I’m excited to in the future. Four stars. Bookshop link here. […]

I really appreciated the explained differences between chopping, dicing, and mincing. Four stars; list of recipes included on my blog post. Bookshop link here. Cheesy […]
This is a great introduction to gluten-free cooking. There’s a lot of family and kid-friendly recipes in here, without a ton of reliance on gluten-free flour. There were a lot of errors in this ARC, as other readers have noted; there also weren’t any pictures. I assume these will be fixed by publish point. Three […]
I picked this book up because I’ve been through menopause and I sure don’t know anything about it! Still, somehow! I did skim most of the ‘story’ or ‘health explanation’ of this book so I don’t remember it being particularly Gendery (ie “let’s go ladies, make some food for our inner girl power because we […]
