A Common Table: 80 Recipes And Stories From My Shared Cultures

"Lawyer/food blogger Cynthia Chen McTernan’s primary food influences are Southern (from her childhood), Korean (from her mother-in-law) and Chinese (from her family). Sound promising? For good reason. Some of these recipes flaunt their passport stamps for all to see: lion’s head meatballs, tea eggs, fried kimchi. But others fall in the “only in America” category: collard wontons, Chinese cola chicken wings, Korean cheesy corn. This is McTernan’s first cookbook, and it has that feeling about it: hopeful, eclectic, conversational. I very much doubt it will be her last."
