Kitchen Arts & Letters Verified independent store

The chef of Bonnie’s, an acclaimed Cantonese American eatery in Brooklyn, shares his home cooking, a creative hybrid of influences which is satisfyingly unpredictable. You can find some classic Cantonese recipes for things like shrimp and pork wonton soup or a sizzling steamed fish, but Eng’s emphasis here is on fresh connections he’s made between ingredients and methods. For example: Taro root hashbrowns with sweet and spicy ketchup Cabbage salad with fried garlic sesame dressing Congee arancini Salt and pepper pork schnitzel with Chinese ranch dressing Grilled squid salad with preserved lemon Black currant lemonade jelly mold Resoundingly unlike any other Cantonese or American cookbook.
