A versatile, accessible, Asian-inspired cookbook that melds Korean, Chinese, and Japanese flavorsMei Liu and Kyong Han are classically trained chefs and the duo behind the popular food blog Two Plaid Aprons. Drawing on their Chinese and Korean heritages and their culinary upbringings in Louisiana, they create recipes that are both rooted in tradition and shaped by personal experience. Known for making Asian cooking approachable, Mei and Kyong empower home cooks with clear, reliable guidance that builds confidence in the kitchen. Fork & Chopsticks features a vibrant collection of Asian and Pan-Asian (fusion) recipes, all crafted using Mei and Kyong's signature approach of breaking down complex techniques, ingredients, and flavors into uncomplicated, easy-to-follow steps. Each recipe balances accessibility with authenticity, honoring traditional methods and essential ingredients while remaining achievable for cooks of any skill level. From beloved classics like Pork and Cabbage Dumplings and Bibimbap to inventive fusion dishes like Sichuan Pepper Steak au Poivre, Kimchi Carbonara, and Roasted Rice Tiramisu, this collection offers recipes you'll return to again and again.
