For soup enthusiasts like me, this book is simply invaluable. <br>--From the foreword by Martin Yan, bestselling author and host of Yan Can Cook <br> [Teresa Chen's] new book, A Tradition of Soup: Flavors from China's Pearl River Delta, a collection of 144 recipes from southern China, is the result of years invested in health education...The recipes, intermingled with information about southern Chinese culture, traditional medicine, and immigration history, are grouped by seasons and health concerns, including gaining and losing weight, getting rid of acne, and preventing wrinkles. <br>-- Harvard Magazine <br> Chen lays out the basics of nearly the whole of Chinese gastronomy...[she] has made it safe for me to walk into any Chinese pharmacopeia and conduct myself well. <br> --Olivia Wu, The Art of Eating Magazine <br> <br> I've often wondered why our family had so humble a name: Hong (meaning soup). Thanks to Teresa Chen, I now understand that soup has as long and powerful a tradition as tea. Soup is a healing medicine, and soup sustains and extends life. Soup has its myths and stories. And soup made its way from China to America, from the Pearl River Delta to the San Joaquin Delta, in the cookery of immigrants such as my mother. <br>--Maxine Hong Kingston, author of the award-winning The Woman Warrior and recipient of the 2008 National Books Awards' Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters <br> While there are dozens of superb cookbooks that translate Cantonese cooking for Americans, none take Teresa Chen's expansive medicinal approach to food. I recommend this book not only to those interested in health, but also to those who want to discover a whole new and thoroughly fascinating branch of Chinese cuisine. <br>--Ken Albala, professor of history at University of the Pacific and award-winning author of Beans: A History <br> A Tradition of Soup is a treasure chest of Cantonese soup recipes generously garnished with cultu
