Heart and Soul - Hardcover

In the book accompanying her ABC TV series, Australian-Chinese chef Kylie Kwong shares the recipes for the dishes she most loves to cook-whether for a simple supper of Hokkien noodles, a family celebration in her own home, or a glamorous cocktail party. Following the success of her first book, Kylie Kwong: Recipes and Stories, Kylie branches out from her Chinese culinary heritage to explore the cuisines of Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. With the emphasis on intensity of flavour and using the finest produce, she creates mouth-watering dishes with inspired combinations of Western ingredients and Eastern techniques. With a fresh take on Chinese restaurant classics to treasured family favourites, this is food to be shared and enjoyed.

Kylie Kwong was born into a fourth-generation Australian-Chinese family, in Sydney. She learnt the fundamentals of Cantonese cooking at her mother's side, and went on to develop her strong artistic style by working as a graphic designer and cooking at home, before stepping into the food world full-time. Kylie then honed her skills with several of Australia's most respected chefs.
