"Mouthwatering recipes meet city and family history in this wonderful vegan cookbook that details the rich history of Hong Kong from sleepy harbor to culinary powerhouse"-- Library Journal, "Wong ( The Plantiful Plate ), who's descended from three generations of Hongkongers, offers scrumptious plant-based recipes contextualized with both her family's stories and a broader historical backdrop. Never preachy and always informative, she has a nimble touch on serious subjects like racism and the impact of meat consumption on the environment... Wong's personable and knowledgeable voice makes this thoughtful effort shine"-- Publishers Weekly, "This cookbook is gorgeous, gutsy, and delicious. In Hong Kong, all manner of seafood, meat, dairy, and eggs reign, but Christine Wong bravely charts another path to enjoying beloved traditional tastes, while capturing the city's unique energy and culture. T he Vibrant Hong Kong Table is a supremely satisfying journey through iconic dishes for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. It's also a stunning visual feast of colors, textures, and a range of Chinese cooking techniques." --Kaitlin, Sarah, Bill, and Judy Leung, New York Times bestselling authors of The Woks of Life "Every page transports you directly to the bustling streets of Hong Kong through stories and mouthwatering recipes that are masterfully crafted, beautifully presented, and iconic. The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is so much more than a cookbook; it's a love letter to a city, a culture, to history, and to family." --Kim-Julie Hansen, Founder and Creative Director of Best of Vegan "Christine Wong presents an evocative journey to her beloved Hong Kong--a great city, long dear to me-- replete with spectacular photography of both Hong Kong itself and an irresistible selection of classic Cantonese dishes from dim sum to Singapore Noodles with a vegan twist. A vibrant celebration in every way!" --Grace Young, author of Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge and The Breath of a Wok "The book I've been waiting for. Christine has put together a stunning tribute to Hong Kong cuisine rooted in a deep understanding of its culture, with inventive recipes that make the canon finally accessible to all. This is a work of stylistic flair, exuberant flavor, and abundant heart." --Hannah Che, James Beard Award-winning author of The Vegan Chinese Kitchen "Fresh, seasonal and exciting, the cuisine of Hong Kong is deliciously multi-faceted. Now, Christine Wong gives it a thoughtful, modern twist with wholesome, plant-based ingredients. This is a fantastic reference for the food historian as well as the conscientious eater." -- Cathy Erway, Author of The Food of Taiwan and James Beard Award-winning food writer, "This cookbook is gorgeous, gutsy, and delicious.

Christine Wong will make you hunger for her nostalgic dishes and her beloved hometown. The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is so much more than a collection of recipes: It is a song of love and longing for a place and a history--a melody that will forever be remembered just as surely as this tome will be passed down and treasured for generations to come." --Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country: A Memoir of an Undocumented Childhood

Synopsis
A visual and sumptuous ode to Hong Kong that reimagines 88 classic and iconic dishes as colorful and beautiful plant-based meals. A common Chinese greeting is ? "Have you eaten (rice) yet?" which is how Christine Wong's paternal grandmother would welcome her home during her childhood in Hong Kong. Food was the language of love, with birthdays and special events always celebrated with family meals, from nine-course banquet-style restaurant feasts to simple home-cooked dinners. After leaving Hong Kong and adopting a vegan lifestyle for health and sustainability reasons, Christine yearned to recreate the flavors and textures of her family's food at home without animal by-products. The Vibrant Hong Kong Table celebrates many of Hong Kong's most iconic dishes with a vegan twist. Organized by a day of eating through the city and paying homage to its culinary heritage, these fresh, bright, vegetable-based recipes include: Breakfast and Dim Sum : Sampan Congee, Lotus Leaf Rice, "Egg" Tarts Cha Chaan Teng and Lunchbox Favorites: Baked Tempeh Chop Rice, Black-Pink Pepper Cabbage Steak, Jackfruit Brisket Noodles Family-Style Dinners, from Festival Foods to Dai Pai Dongs : "Fish Fragrant" Eggplant, Sweet & Sour Cauliflower, Snow Skin Mooncakes Siu Yeh (Late-Night Snacks) and Sweets: Curry "Fishballs," Three Treasures, Hong Kong Sweet Buns "Hong Kong Highlights," included throughout, showcase cultural customs such as balancing yin and yang and sharing food family-style. And Mama Wong's tips for using ingredients like lotus root, taro, and salted oranges, offer an immersive experience of Hong Kong's culinary and societal traditions. With beautiful imagery, intimate storytelling, and easy-to-follow instructions, The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is a treasury of fresh and inspiring vegan meals straight from the heart of this magnificent city to your home.
