Légumes Asiatiques - Cultiver, cuisiner, raconter

A fascinating culinary journey

While bok choy has managed to carve out a place on Western shelves, many other Asian vegetables remain little known. Yet, these are tasty and nutritious plants that grow very well in temperate and even northern climates!
Caroline, Stéphanie, and Patricia Ho-Yi Wang, three sisters of Cantonese origin, have made it their mission to introduce and make these vegetables loved in a unique work at the crossroads of a gardening guide, a cookbook, and a family story.

Centered around 15 Asian vegetables presented according to the seasons, the book offers organic cultivation and harvesting advice, intended for both casual gardeners and aspiring market gardeners, as well as preservation techniques, nutritional information, and cooking preparation methods. About forty recipes, some developed by renowned chefs, are also offered.

The Wang sisters also explore the world of Asian vegetables from a cultural perspective, tracing the place they have held in their own lives and in that of their family, part of which left China to emigrate to Madagascar before settling in Quebec.

A true tribute to the earth, good food, and roots.
