"Growing up in San Francisco, I ate Cantonese home-style food every day. These were not dishes found on restaurant menus, but rich, savory dishes with pure, simple flavors that are the hallmark of a home cook."
Grace Young
“I love the slow way of cooking...Not just for the taste, but because it infuses the house with an aroma that says 'You are welcome.'”Maya Angelou author | humanitarian

For Grace, this cookbook is an act of "ancestor worship" in the Chinese tradition. In it, she preserves her family's Cantonese home cooking {and therefore culture, philosophy and heritage} for future generations.

Grace grew up around home cooking + her parents continue to be some of the biggest influences on her award-winning cuisine. Her father Baba also gave Grace a culinary education by taking her to all the best restaurants in San Francisco where he never ordered from the menu but spoke straight to the chef to see what was best that day. They always had a table near the kitchen so the whole family could enjoy the delicious aromas coming from its many woks.
