one of the Best Cookbooks of 2024 by Food & Wine, and Forbes Vetted!!!
“The Chinese Way is such a gorgeous and exciting ode to Chinese cooking. Betty’s style is so awesome because it’s firmly rooted in the fundamentals (which she thoroughly breaks down for you) and then she applies them in really delicious and sometimes unexpected ways that feel like the most real representation of what it means to cook Chinese food in America today.” ―Molly Yeh, New York Times bestselling author and Food Network host
“With a breezy, approachable style, The Chinese Way makes it easy for beginners or experienced cooks to elevate their kitchen game…. [Liu’s] mission is clear: demystify Chinese cooking and empower readers.”―Boston Globe
“I keep thinking about recipes that I’ve read in the book that I must make, because it’s exclamation point cooking. Everything is like, ‘Wow, I must try that.’”―Ali Slagle, author of I Dream of Dinner (So You Don’t Have To)
