Som, a recipe developer, brings his experience from years in fashion and design to the page as he pays homage to his mother and grandmother’s Cantonese heritage and love for French food. His book further celebrates connection by featuring his favorite way to host guests—family style—with recipes created and presented to fill platters and bowls in a comfortable and casual manner. With tantalizing breakfast and starter dishes such as carrot gochujang hummus, readers are encouraged to be creative, with surprising and intriguing combinations, such as cacio e pepe sticky rice and kimchi risotto, illustrating the vast array of options. The recipes are very approachable, fun, and accompanied by eye-catching photographs. Familiar ingredients are given a new twist throughout, with accompanying hints for substitutions and elevated options. Home cooks are certain to find something to entice groups of any size. Bonus content features items to stock the pantry, countertop, and refrigerator, along with tips for preparing for successful meals, and a thorough universal measuring conversion chart.
VERDICT A welcome addition to any collection.
