Review Quotes: --Kaitlin, Sarah, Bill, and Judy Leung, New York Times--bestselling authors of The Woks of Life: Recipes to Know and Love from a Chinese American Family "Hsiao-Ching Chou has a unique ability to distill our favorite Chinese American dishes into approachable and workable recipes with delicious results. Feasts of Good Fortune exemplifies my favorite food writing: rituals and recipes passed down through generations in a rich and informative way." --Lucinda Scala Quinn, cookbook author and founder of Mad Hungry "As someone who grew up in a Chinese American home, Feasts of Good Fortune deeply resonates. Many of these holidays, traditions, and recipes give me visceral memories of growing up Chinese in America. Even though I grew up celebrating many of these holidays, Hsiao-Ching and Meilee go deeper to explain the roots and traditions of these days that I did not even know myself." --Tim Ma, chef and restaurateur Praise for Hsiao-Ching Chou's Chinese Soul Food: "Hsiao-Ching Chou delves into the heart of Chinese cooking, understanding its power to provide sustenance and comfort." --Grace Young, James Beard Award-winning author of Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge "Soulful.
