Feasts of Good Fortune

Description

Feasts of Good Fortune presents 75 recipes for a full year of celebrations with family and friends the Chinese American way in this deeply personal and intergenerational cookbook, co-written by mother and daughter.

Covering everything from traditional Lunar New Year menus with recipes passed down through generations to Thanksgiving get-togethers celebrated with tantalising side dishes, Feasts of Good Fortune invites you to take a seat at the Chou family's warm dinner table.

Author and former James Beard Foundation cookbook committee chair, Hsiao-Ching Chou (Chinese Soul Food), brings her approachable style to Chinese cooking full circle with fresh, uncomplicated home cooking for celebrations typical of the Chinese American experience. Master dumplings, scallion pancakes, and more, to contribute to "tuan yuan" (the act of coming together) that defines family meals in these 75 tried-and-true recipes anyone can tackle.

Co-written with Hsiao-Ching's 17-year-old daughter, Meilee, the cookbook also explores reconnecting with her Chinese American heritage as a young adult. This deeply meaningful cookbook is an exploration of what it means to grow up in a "forever hyphenated culture" and celebrates the joy of the mother-daughter bond in cooking together.

Organised chronologically, the menus take out the guesswork for your celebrations, including:

Lunar New Year (Sticky Rice with Chicken and Chinese Sausage)
Lantern Festival (Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Paste)
Honouring the Dead/Qing Ming (Steamed Spinach Dumplings)
Dragon Boat Festival (Zong Zi)
Mid-Autumn Festival (Mooncakes)
Birthdays & Party Bites (Stir-Fried Long-Life Noodles)
Side Dishes for East-meets-West Menus (Braised Kale with Dried Cranberries)
Hot Pot Parties
