Deliciously Simple Asian Cooking for Every Mood



A beautifully personal cookbook of more than 70 easy and inspiring Chinese and East Asian recipes for every occasion

Sumptuous Asian cooking has never been simpler

Join Verna Gao of @vernahungrybanana as she shares more than 70 of her all-time favourite Asian-inspired recipes. Whether you're craving 10-minute creamy peanut noodles that bring simplicity and peace, soothing congee for comfort or exquisitely plump dumplings perfect for joyful potluck parties, discover dishes to satisfy every mood and occasion.

More than just a compendium of recipes, this is a personal journey back in time, through words, memories, and photographs, to the people and places that inspired these dishes - from memories of a Shanghai childhood spent with mum and grandma in the kitchen, to impromptu "real Chinese" cooking lessons with university friends, and backpacking round the street food hotspots of East Asia.

Super fresh, vegan-adaptable, and full of punchy flavours, Verna's unfussy recipes are all easy to make and delectable to eat.
