Bring the beloved flavours of a Chinese takeaway into your home with two practical, hard-wearing guides from Kwoklyn Wan.

It’s a blueprint for weeknight cooking: simple shopping lists, swift prep, and meals that taste like you ordered in. Paired with The Veggie Chinese Takeaway Cookbook, this collection widens the menu for plant-forward households. Kwoklyn Wan’s kitchen wisdom shines through—vegetables and meat substitutes take centre stage, dairy is kept light, and the result is vibrant, restaurant-quality takeout flavours at home. From soups to spring rolls, these two hardcovers offer a complete, kitchen-friendly path to delicious, achievable Chinese cooking for everyone in your household, whether you’re feeding family, friends, or weekend guests.
