"Katie Chin has done us all a huge favor: she's provided us with recipes for so many of the Chinese dishes we always wanted to cook but have never had clear and easy instructions to prepare...Thank you Katie Chin!" -Martha Stewart
Home chefs will enjoy preparing these Chinese home cooking-inspired dishes with this easy-to-follow Chinese cookbook.
Author Katie Chin's love of cooking blossomed at an early age-watching and later helping her renowned mother, Leeann Chin, prepare delicious Chinese dishes in her popular restaurants. Born in China, Leeann was an award-winning restaurateur and author revered for her ability to demystify Chinese cooking for the American home cook. Katie inherited her mom's passion and talent and has become a respected food writer and television personality in her own right. Sadly, Leeann passed away in 2010, but her recipes live on. Katie is eager to share her mother's food legacy with you in this book-an homage to Leeann's mastery of all that Chinese cooking has to offer.
This treasury of family recipes includes many unique dishes that Leeann developed during a six-decade career in the food business, including time-honored classics that she learned from her mother in China. Some dishes reflect Leeann's Chinese-American childhood or are recipes which Katie and Leeann developed while together. Others are creations that Katie has invented more recently. Woven throughout the book are fond memories and anecdotes from Katie's childhood, always involving cooking and eating with her mom.
Katie Chin's Everyday Chinese Cooking is a celebration of Leeann Chin's fantastic mastery of the complete array of flavors and techniques in Chinese cuisine, and her unique ability to make them accessible to Westerners. Katie provides tips and techniques which allow anyone to create a refined and tasty Chinese meal at home.

"Katie Chin has done us all a huge favor: she's provided us with recipes for so many of the Chinese dishes we always wanted to cook but have never had clear and easy instructions to prepare. Using easy-to-find ingredients, Katie shows us how to make everything from Potstickers to Peking Duck Summer Rolls, Jade Shrimp with Fragrant Vegetables and Beef Chow Fun. And in addition to recipes, the book is infused with stories of a Chinese-American upbringing. Thank you, Katie Chin!" --Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia "I love Asian cuisines of all flavors, ingredients and techniques.

Unlike some earlier-generation Chinese cookbook authors, Chin is able to take advantage of today's increasing availability of Chinese ingredients throughout America." --Booklist
