Product Information

There are also plenty of tips and shortcuts to demystify any tricky-sounding techniques, and a reassuring list of pantry staples and where to find them.

Modern, unconventional, innovative, vibrant, tasty, colourful and incredibly delicious―this is a cookbook from two authors who consider themselves wonderfully Chinese-ish . Today, I am going to be telling you all about Chinese-ish by Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu, which is a delicious hybrid biographical recipe book, which I have found utterly sumptuous in its presentation, its pictures and illustrations are gorgeous and informative and they are interspersed with personal reminiscences of family and food which I have found addictively fascinating to read. Rosheen Kaul is head chef at Melbourne's Etta restaurant, where she cooks a menu as culturally diverse as she is.

Crisp, fluffy and golden – a result of plenty of oil and plenty of heat – the Asian approach to omelettes champions all of the characteristics the Western world condemns. Well, anywhere is the answer, but I still feel I should highlight some recipes for you, and I do so gladly, hard though it is to leave any out. Chinese-ish celebrates the confident blending of culture and identity through food: take what you love and reject what doesn't work for you. Add the sauce and 1 tablespoon of the chilli paste or sambal oelek (use more if you want more heat) and toss to coat.

Note: MSG is a flavour enhancer used in East Asian cooking to intensify savouriness, and provide body and balance to some dishes.
