About the Author

Jenny Lo (chef) and her sister Vivienne (writer) absorbed their interest in food as part of their family history. Food was a link to a time before the Revolution, their grandfather's house in China and family life as it was then. Their collective memories of their father's cooking are the original source of their interest and way of cooking. Jenny has worked closely with well-known Chinese chefs for over ten years and was her father's editorial assistant on his cookery books for fifteen years. She has opened her own restaurant, The Teahouse in London. Vivienne has studied Chinese Medicine and has also been involved in the management of The Teahouse and both sisters have already co-authored for 150 Recipes from the Teahouse.
