Emma says: "
In Mandarin, we use the term jiā cháng cài 家常菜
to describe home-style cooking. This type of food is unpretentious, delicious and deeply intertwined with the comfort of being at home. Having spent many years living abroad, this is the type of food I crave when I'm homesick. I don't believe you need lots of time, money or equipment to make delicious Chinese food. That's why this book is a collection of recipes that are easy, approachable and adaptable. Recipes that ANYONE, even those with limited time, space, budget or even cooking skills, can make at home."Author Biography
