I agree with all the glowing reviews and would like to add my 2 cents! Last year I gave my parents a copy of Grace Young's new book The Wisdom of a Chinese Kitchen. My father said thank you very much and he handed me this book and said this is real food for real people - and he was right! In this book the meals of my childhood have been replicated! Ken Hom gathers up an amazing treasury of recipes. They are easy to follow, not overly complicated, and offer an easy dose of comfort food.

All the recipes take 30 minutes or less start to finish. Living in Japan, this has made shopping and cooking much easier as I can easily find all of the ingredients here. Other Asian cookbooks have specialty ingredients that are hard to find. Rating: 5 / 5 This cookbook make cooking fast and easy. All the recipes take 30 minutes or less start to finish.

The prestigious Andre Simon Memorial Fund award for the best food book of 1998 was last night given to Ken Hom for his book “Easy Family Dishes: A memoir with recipes ” published by BBC Worldwide last October. His editor Viv Bowler (Lifestyle Group, UK Region) accepted the award on his behalf.

This is the most prestigious cookery book award of the year – for which Ken has previously been short listed twice. Easy Family Dishes doubles as an autobiography and a cook book and tells the story of Ken’s upbringing as a Chinese American in Chicago. Eighty-five cookery books were entered in all and the short-list included top names such as Nigel Slater, Madhur Jaffrey and Nigella Lawson. Josceline Dimbleby, who presented the award, described the book as beautifully written, endearing, informative and unique. Ken’s book enters into the André Simon hall of fame.

Seamus Geoghegan, Director, Lifestyle Group, said: “This award is a testament not only to Ken’s enormous writing and cooking talents, but also to the editorial expertise of Viv Bowler who worked so hard to get this title – a non TV tie-in which several other publishers were interested in.

Fong Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:50:23 +0000 http://www.asian-food.lizebiz.com/easy-family-recipes-from-a-chinese-american-childhood#comment-941 This is the cooking of my own childhood, and I'm very happy that Ken Hom has put these recipes into this very personal book. He includes anecdotes from his own childhood as well as those from other Chinese Americans. I use this cookbook regularly and have my own favorites. I agree with "Ms. Reese" that there tends to be an over-use of salt, but I simply reduce the amount of salt or cut it out altogether when soy sauce or other salty seasonings are used. For those who are nostalgic for the food of their Cantonese mothers and grandmothers I recommend two other titles: My Grandmother's Chinese Kitchen, by Eileen Yin-Fei LoMy Grandmother's Chinese Kitchen: 100 Family Recipes and Life Lessons and Every Grain of Rice, by Ellen Blonder and Annabel Low Every Grain of Rice: A Taste of Our Chinese Childhood in America. The former has old photos which parallel those in my own photo albums, and the later has beautiful illustrations. Both contain remembrances of growing up Chinese American.
