THE VEGGIE CHINESE TAKEAWAY COOKBOOK by Kwoklyn Wan £15
Following the success of The Chinese Takeaway Cookbook, The Veggie Chinese Takeaway Cookbook offers more than 70 meat-free recipes, most of which can easily be made vegan, all made by Kwoklyn Wan, brother of TV celebrity Gok Wan. Both boys grew up working in their family’s Cantonese restaurant in Leicester in the 1970s. Since then Kwoklyn has spent his life cooking in Chinese restaurants and knows how to make home recipes taste just like the takeaway. There are lots of favourites to try from tom yum soup to spring rolls, fried tofu with chilli and black beans or aubergine with sesame seeds, to Hong Kong crispy noodles and sticky rice parcels.
