“If you haven't dared to try Chinese cuisine before, Sissi Chen will take you by the hand.”Denise Snieguolė Wachter, STERN
“What characterises Sissi Chen's book is the explicitly German-Chinese perspective that she brings as an immigrant. It opens the door to Sissi's food culture. A ‘real’ Chinese cookery book that is nevertheless very close."
Benjamin Cordes, KAISERGRANAT
From Beijing to Berlin – The Best Home Cooking
With her inspired recipes, Sissi Chen proves that Chinese food can not only be aromatic and delicious, but also simple and quick — especially the home cooking that is enjoyed in China from day to day. Many of the ingredients can be found easily in your local supermarket — and if you can’t find them, Sissi offers a wonderfully simple solution: “If you can’t find any Asian wheat noodles, just use spaghetti!”
Sissi’s dishes are influenced by a childhood spent with her grandparents in Beijing and by the pragmatism of her single mother, with whom she moved to Vienna at the age of seven. She meanwhile lives in Berlin.
In China, cooking is not done according to recipes and the children are always around while the meals are prepared, and so Sissi often watched and tasteddishes, only to cook them herself years later. Her specialities are dumplings, noodles, and tofu and vegetable dishes.
China’s culinary diversity is staggering: a single dish can taste completely different depending on region, tradition, historical influences, and access to different ingredients. Sissi allows us to share in this diversity and frees her readers of any hesitation when it comes to trying their hand at China’s unique regional cuisines.
