Review Quotes:
"Mister Jiu's is a restaurant truly inspired by San Francisco's Chinatown and at the forefront of this historic neighborhood's ongoing evolution. This book is filled with recipes and photographs that remind me of why I love Chinese cuisine. It is also the story of Brandon Jew's journey to achieve the hardest thing in cooking--authenticity." --Corey Lee, chef of three-Michelin-starred Benu and author of its namesake cookbook

Biographical Note:
Brandon Jew (周英卓) is a native San Franciscan and the chef and co-owner with Anna Lee (the Missus) of Mister Jiu's, a Chinese American restaurant in the heart of North America's oldest Chinatown.

Tienlon Ho (何天蘭) is a writer originally from Columbus, Ohio, where the best Chinese food was always in her family's kitchen. She lives with Jon and Quin in San Francisco.

Publisher Marketing:
JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER - The acclaimed chef behind the Michelin-starred Mister Jiu's restaurant shares the past, present, and future of Chinese cooking in America through 90 mouthwatering recipes.

ONE OF THE TEN BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle - ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Glamour - "Brandon Jew's affection for San Francisco's Chinatown and his own Chinese heritage is palpable in this cookbook, which is both a recipe collection and a portrait of a district rich in history."--Fuchsia Dunlop, James Beard Award-winning author of The Food of Sichuan

Brandon Jew trained in the kitchens of California cuisine pioneers and Michelin-starred Italian institutions before finding his way back to Chinatown and the food of his childhood. Through deeply personal recipes and stories about the neighborhood that often inspires them, this groundbreaking cookbook is an intimate account of how Chinese food became American food and the making of a Chinese American chef.

Jew takes inspiration from classic Chinatown recipes to create innovative spins like Sizzling Rice Soup, Squid Ink Wontons, Orange Chicken Wings, Liberty Roast Duck, Mushroom Mu Shu, and Banana Black Sesame Pie. From the fundamentals of Chinese cooking to master class recipes, he interweaves recipes and techniques with stories about their origins in Chinatown and in his own family history. And he connects his classical training and American roots to Chinese traditions in chapters celebrating dim sum, dumplings, and banquet-style parties.

With more than a hundred photographs of finished dishes as well as moving and evocative atmospheric shots of Chinatown, this book is also an intimate portrait--a look down the alleyways, above the tourist shops, and into the kitchens--of the neighborhood that changed the flavor of America.
