breaking: we got a book deal!


Photo: Me and Mary Kate, 1992-ish, cooking in grandma's kitchen. Little did we know, fifteen some odd years later, we'd write a cookbook together...

 

It's official. We got a book deal for our book, Feeding the Dragon: A Culinary Travelogue Through China! Our publishing house is Andrews McMeel and we couldn't be happier. Andrews McMeel focuses on making beautiful cookbooks that not only have great recipes but also tell the story behind the food-- this is our goal as well.

So now that we have a book deal we have a TON of work to do. Over the next several months we will be finishing the chapters ( Beijing, Nanjing/Shanghai, Fujian Province, Hong Kong, Macau, Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, and Xinjiang) and we'll be testing and standardizing the remaining 2/3 of the recipes. You can follow our progress here on the blog and we will try to be as candid about the process as possible (kitchen disasters and sibling arguments included). You'll also get to hear about our experiences in China while finishing the book. Mary Kate just moved back to Beijing for a few months and I will be heading over in January.  

We're re-launching this blog next week once Mary Kate gets settled in Beijing. Thanks for reading and happy Chinese cooking!

 

-Nate
