Description: "A picture book biography of pioneering Chinese American chef and restaurateur Cecilia Chiang"--

Review Quotes: "Leung's straightforward and thoughtful prose never glosses over Chiang's difficult life but lingers instead on the poetry of cooking, which is expertly paired with Iwai's watercolors that offer heartwarming and mouthwatering details on every spread. An author's note provides photos of Chiang and additional information in this story steeped in foodways and family."--Horn Book
