Chinese-ish: Home Cooking Not Quite Authentic | 100% Delicious

Bold, inventive, and unapologetically personal, Chinese-ish: Home Cooking Not Quite Authentic, 100% Delicious is a cookbook that redefines what it means to cook with heritage. Written by Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu, with photography by Armelle Habib, this 224-page collection embraces the beauty of cultural in-betweenness—where family traditions, modern techniques, and creativity come together on the plate.

Drawing from their experiences as Chinese-heritage immigrants growing up in Australia and Southeast Asia, the authors share more than just recipes—they share stories of identity, adaptability, and joy. You’ll find Chinese-inspired favorites like rice and noodle dishes, dumplings, and wontons, all approached with a fresh, flexible mindset that invites home cooks to explore and experiment.

With clever tips, step-by-step guidance, and practical pantry advice, Chinese-ish demystifies techniques and ingredients while encouraging readers to cook intuitively. Vibrant photography and conversational storytelling bring each dish to life, celebrating flavor and individuality above all.
