Someone please please buy this for me so that I can blog my way through it. Joyce Chen is the Julia Child of Chinese cooking in America. (Julia was actually a big fan.) She hosted the first nationally broadcasted ethnic / Chinese cooking show, the PBS program “Joyce Chen Cooks.” I would have preferred a Cantonese cookbook but this would work. Otherwise I’ll just have to stick with blogs and cookbooks written by non-Chinese people. Sighhh.
NOTE: In this blog, I will be talking about a lot more than just Chinese/Cantonese food and cooking, especially Korean, French, Japanese and Mediterranean. Since I’m trying to master the cuisine of my culture however, Cantonese food will likely dominate.
Philosophy of the Day // The more authentic, the better. I’ve had some quite impressive fusion food before but they don’t stick with me quite like authentic dishes. They may fill my stomach but they don’t fill my soul! It’s interesting to experience the modernization of cuisines and innovation and invention should always be welcomed in any art. But disclaimer, I favor the classics.
