Bon appétit! Kali Orexi! (Insert the sound of breaking plates here . . .)”This is more than just a list of ingredients or series of steps, of course. It’s filled with simple recipes, gorgeous photographs, traditional meals, memories, and tidbits of information that draw family and friends to Greek tables time and again.It has everything from iconic egg-lemon sauce to rich soups, sweet pies, and traditional delicacies like rabbit stew and octopus with pasta, accompanied by tales of Greek history and insight into cultural nuances.

With stunning photographs throughout and 65 deliciously authentic recipes, this book is a peek into a Greek family that has achieved what so many of us yearn for: a fuller, more meaningful, and joyful life, lived simply and nourished on real, delicious Greek meals that you can access anywhere with this cookbook on hand.Trade Review“Christos has captured the essence of Greek home cooking through this collection of his mother’s recipes. An easy-to-read cookbook, emphasizing the simplistic beauty of Greek cuisine.” —Peter Minaki, author of The Big Book of Mediterranean Recipes“Bravo, Christos. Documenting the treasure trove of recipes in a Greek kitchen isn’t easy, but it’s well worth the effort. I can’t wait to pull up a chair and join the feast!” —Marisa Churchill, Top Chef competitor and author of Sweet & Skinny“This cookbook is as much about love as it is about food. A love for family, a love for Greek food, and most of all, a love for the author's mother, who expressed her affection for friends and family through her cooking. Food was her language of love, her recipes preserved for all time in this touching tribute.” —JB Macatulad, willflyforfood.net"Christos shows us how to make healthy and nutritious recipes, including plant-based meals, and quite honestly inspires us all to own our culture and heritage. Greek cuisine is such a powerful way of eating and surely this book will transform us all.” —Maria Koutsogiannis, author of Mindful Vegan Meals, food stylist, photographer and writer for FoodByMaria “Who doesn’t love Greek food? Years ago, I was invited to Greece to write an article about its cuisine and I had the privilege to stay with a local Greek family. Within five minutes upon my arrival, I was instantly transformed from journalist to family member, and I couldn’t stop eating because everything tasted so good! And that family’s sense of generosity and pride came rushing back to me when I read Christos’s family recipes and memories. The Greeks are masters of simple, accessible, and delicious food. I wish Christos’s mother would invite me over to try her yummy galaktoboureko—sweet and crunchy on the outside, and filled with the perfect custard on the inside!” —Ricardo Larrivée, chef and owner of Cafe Ricardo, host of Ricardo and Friends (Food Network), and author of Vegetables First

Book SynopsisTrade Review“In this engagingly written, gorgeously photographed cookbook, the story of Nom Wah, a 100-year-old dim sum restaurant in New York’s Chinatown, comes to life…. Just as essential as its recipes, the cookbook is suffused with lively storytelling that imparts a deep appreciation for the people, the history and hard work behind each dish, behind Nom Wah, and behind Chinatown itself.” — Food and Wine “From the very first tattoo- and Tsingtao-studded photograph by Alex Lau, Wilson Tang's The Nom Wah Cookbook had me so eager to get into the kitchen that I had to read it standing up…. As much a history lesson as it is a dumpling primer.” — Epicurious “Tang’s pride in his community is reflected in the glossy pages of “The Nom Wah Cookbook,” a collection of mouth-watering dim sum recipes that manages to be much more than that. It’s also a social history of New York’s Chinatown, with profiles of merchants and artisans who are trying to keep the historic neighborhood alive now.” — Associated Press “A cookbook that gives a thoughtful history of [Nom Wah], as well as a survey of the evolution of Chinatown.” — New York Times "Nom Wah is one of the most legendary dining establishments in New York City. Having been open for more than 100 years, this restaurant has seen Chinatown change and evolve in spectacular ways. However, owner Wilson Tang doesn’t get lost in the past. Instead, he uses this moment to celebrate the Chinatown of now, sharing profiles and recipes that celebrate today." — Bon Appétit “Nom Wah Tea Parlor is a classic restaurant that defines New York dining…. Tucked between the pages are tales from the restaurant, a touch of dim sum history, and essays from other members of the Chinatown community…. Reading the book isn’t quite the same as sitting at a table in the golden-hued restaurant, but during a pandemic, it’s as close as we can get.” — Heated “The cluster of people typically huddled outside Nom Wah Tea Parlor in New York’s Chinatown tells you there’s something special inside. Once you tuck into the 100-year-old dim sum restaurant’s food, you realize it was worth the wait for silky dumplings, toothsome char sui bao, scallion pancakes, egg rolls, and other dim sum dishes passed down through three generations of owners. The latest, Wilson Tang, reveals these long-standing family secrets and recipes in this new cookbook, along with illustrations that demonstrate how to stuff bao, close eggrolls, and more.” — Plate “For those who miss those stacks of steaming baskets piled high on the table, Tang and Joshua David Stein help you bring home the experience with THE NOM WAH COOKBOOK… Making dumplings is easy — really!” — New York Times Book Review "A mouthwatering love letter to Nom Wah’s neighborhood." — Saveur "What resonates most is the celebration of Chinatown’s family-run shops, its cultural institutions, and the characters who make the neighborhood an enduring source of pride and inspiration." — Grub Street "A primer on how dim sum works.... The pages of Nom Wah are a beautiful place to be." — Wired "While Nom Wah Tea Parlor might be New York City's oldest dim sum restaurant, this is its very first cookbook, spanning 100 years of recipes and stories from the legendary Chinatown spot. It's an opportunity to master everything from rice rolls to scallion pancakes to shrimp balls." — Conde Nast Traveler "You'll get a colorful historical background to the restaurant classics you know and love." — The Spruce Eats

Book SynopsisWidely hailed as one of the most influential cookbooks of all time, this is the timeless classic guide to culinary creativity and flavor exploration, based on the wisdom of the world's most innovative chefs Eight years in the making, The Flavor Bible is a landmark book that has inspired the greatest creations of innovative cooks and chefs by serving as an indispensable guide to creativity and flavor affinities in today's kitchen.  Cuisine is undergoing a startling historic transformation: With the advent of the global availability of ingredients, dishes are no longer based on geography but on flavor. This radical shift calls for a new approach to cooking -- as well as a new genre of 'cookbook' that serves not to document classic dishes via recipes, but to inspire the creation of new ones based on imaginative and harmonious flavor combinations. The Flavor Bible is your guide to hundreds of ingredients along with the herbs, spices, and other seasonings that will allow you to coax the greatest possible flavor and pleasure from them. This astonishing reference distills the combined experience of dozens of America's most innovative culinarians, representing such celebrated and transformative restaurants as A Voce, Blue Hill, Café Atlántico, Chanterelle, Citronelle, Gramercy Tavern, the Herbfarm, Jardinière, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, the Modern, and the Trellis. You'll learn to: explore the roles played by the four basic tastes -- salty, sour, bitter, and sweet -- and how to bring them into harmony; work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients by discovering which flavors have the strongest affinities for one another; brighten flavors through the use of acids -- from vinegars to citrus juices to herbs and spices such as Makrut lime and sumac; deepen or intensify flavors through layering specific ingredients and techniques; and balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of cooking and serving an extraordinary meal. Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from the country's most respected chefs and pastry chefs, The Flavor Bible is an essential book for every kitchen library. For more inspiration in the kitchen, look for The Vegetarian Flavor Bible andKitchen Creativity.
