Chinese-Ish: Home Cooking Not Quite Authentic, 100% Delicious
by Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu

"Chinese-Ish takes questions of culinary identity, tosses them up in the air, and lets them land where they may. Australians Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu confront their blended-Chinese heritage by exploring classics of home cooking like wontons, fried rice and stir-fries – while also going where nobody’s grandma has gone before, with “very Inauthentic Shrimp Toast” and “Microwave Cheong fun” rice noodle rolls. Refreshingly uninterested in purity tests and irresistibly illustrated by Hu, Chinese-Ish is an irreverent charmer and more evidence (if more were needed) of the unending global love affair with Chinese cuisine."
