Reviews"The Mei Mei trio have nailed the easiest and best aspects of what it means to cook Chinese food at home. From sides and sauces to crucial building blocks like stocks and chile pastes. This book is the true bridge from the cuisine of our Chinese grandparents to the way people are eating today; it's the next wave of true Chinese American food. Double Awesome Chinese Food is traditional, honest, and authentic while at the same time blowing up our conventional definitions of Chinese cooking."--Andrew Zimmern "The food in this book is unique and as filled with personality as it is with flavor, as inventive as it is familiar and comforting. You'll come away from this book wanting to jump into the kitchen. These authors have that one innate quality that all great chefs share: they know what delicious is, and more importantly, they know that delicious doesn't have to be fussy or fancy."--J. Kenji López-Alt, author of The Food Lab , Chief Culinary Consultant at Serious Eats, and Chef at Wursthall " Double Awesome Chinese Food is chock-full of inspiring stories and fabulous recipes. Reading it brings me the same sense of joy as going into Mei Mei--I'm excited, and I know I'm going to stuff my face with amazing food. Kudos!"--Joanne Chang, author of Flour and Myers+Chang at Home
