I’ve long admired Christine’s work and and it’s safe to say that this book is one of the absolute best and most beautiful cookbooks I’ve seen. Every page transports you directly to the bustling streets of Hong Kong through stories and mouthwatering recipes that are masterfully crafted, beautifully presented, and iconic indeed. The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is so much more than a cookbook, it’s a love letter to a city, a culture, history, and family.
