Description
The Hakka, an ethnic group originating from Northern China, has dispersed and established communities throughout Asia and the world in a series of migrations spanning a thousand years. Linda Lau Anusasananan embarks on a journey from her family kitchen in California to the Hakka homelands in China, gathering over 140 Hakka recipes from around the world, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Peru, and more. She considers Hakka cooking a form of "soul food," reflecting a "shared history of hardship and oppression."
