JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION AND IACP BOOK AWARD WINNER - ONE OF BON APPETIT'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR - The acclaimed author of To Asia, With Love explores how food connects us to our lo ved ones and gives us the tools to make vegetarian recipes that are healthful, economical, and bursting with flavor. "A love letter to vegetables and almost a memoir through recipes, this truly special book speaks to the soul as much as to the stomach." --Nigella Lawson, author of Cook, Eat, Repeat "Gorgeous, down to earth, vegetable-driven dishes that strike the most delicious balance between fresh and exciting, and cozy and approachable." --Molly Yeh, Food Network host and NYT Bestselling author of Home Is Where the Eggs Are and Molly on the Range Heritage and food have always been linked for Hetty Lui McKinnon. Tenderheart is a loving homage to her father, a Chinese immigrant in Australia, told in flavorful, vegetarian recipes. Growing up as part of a Chinese family in Australia, McKinnon formed a deep appreciation for her bicultural identity, and for her father, who moved to Sydney as a teenager and learned English while selling bananas at a local market. As he brought home crates full of produce after work, McKinnon learned about the beauty and versatility of fruits and vegetables. Tenderheart is the happy outcome of McKinnon's love of vegetables, featuring 22 essential fruits and vegetables that become the basis for over 180 recipes.
