Home cooking through the generations since Chinese Women Settled in New Zealand over the last 100 years
This book contains over 140 recipes and 15 Chinese women’s life stories.
“It is widely known that few other cultures are as food-oriented as the Chinese. Traditionally, in Chinese culture, there is always an important relationship between food and health. This book adds a new dimension to the relationship by linking the experiences of Chinese grandmothers to their recipes. The recipes as presented are not only home-proven to succeed but are also authentic and achievable. Most people enjoy Chinese food and the recipes provide the opportunity to cook these delicious dishes.”
