Description
IM CHI is a sickening drag queen, fierce business mogul, and lifelong culinary connoisseur.
Drawing inspiration from the many countries she has travelled to on tour, in her debut cookbook, the superstar brings you along on a trip around the world.
Starting off in North America, you'll find good ol' Canadian Classic Poutine and tempting Birria Tortas from Mexico. The next stop is South America for the most delectable Brazilian Brigadeiro Cake.
Then on to Europe for French Lemon Sole, Swiss Roasted Flour Soup, and Italian Warm Lemon Ricotta Dip.
Finally, you'll find yourself in Asia, where you can enjoy a mouth-watering Bossam that rivals the best Korean restaurants, and an Indian Dal Tadka that will leave your kitchen smelling divine. Along the way, Kim spills the tea with personal stories of her favourite memories, expeditions, and every perfect bite.
Kim Chi Eats the World highlights a curated list of her favourite dishes and provides her own tried-and-true, easy-to-follow recipes for each, all with a unique Kim Chi twist. Plus, vibrant, bold photography captures Kim's humongous personality on the page—she's a delicious diva.
After you cook your way through these recipes, you'll be giving international realness without ever having to leave your house. Werk.
