Questions

Who is this for?

Anyone in New Zealand who wants Chinese food that tastes like home cooking, not takeaway. Students far from home, second-generation Kiwis who never wrote down Mum's recipes, and anyone who loves the food.

Do I need a wok?

No. A big frying pan works for every dish in the sampler. We tell you when a pot or rice cooker helps.

Where do the recipes come from?

Classic home dishes, written in our own words from well-loved family and open-source recipes. Where a recipe builds on someone else's work, we credit and link them.

Australia?

Coles, Woolworths AU and Aldi versions come next if enough of you ask. Say so in the survey.
