MODERN CHINESE

Everyday, at-home Chinese cooking from MasterChef NZ winner Sam Low.

Sam Low demystifies modern Chinese cooking with a collection of accessible, simple recipes that can be cooked with ingredients from the supermarket. He describes in detail how to build your pantry of classic Chinese ingredients, setting the foundation for cooking. Having grown up in a diasporic Chinese household, Sam creates recipes with a unique take on nostalgic traditional classics, while adding a new narrative to what it means to cook modern Chinese. With plenty of recipes for weeknight meals as well as great ideas for gatherings, this book covers the lot: snacks, rice, noodles, dumplings, vegetables, seafood, meat, desserts. Sam Low won MasterChef NZ in 2022 and he's an award-winning barista and latte art champion, as well as an Instagram superstar. He is passionate about modern Chinese gastronomy, and focused on honouring traditional cuisine through an immigrant diasporic lens.
