Review:

"Not just a diet manifesto, this guide to the Chinese way of eating feels more like a chat with an industry insider. Lorriane comes across well read and well informed, offering tips that appear at first common sense, but quickly cause you to reflect on your own eating habits. Her 15 secrets outlined in the book span across any eating culture and she expertly translates Chinese seasonings and dishes into familiar western preparations for those who aren't quite ready to give up their morning coffee and bagel for congee. Yum!" -- Kathy Casey
