Growing up as a Canadian-born Vietnamese Chinese American, Kat Lieu sought comfort in the flavors of her youth like taro and black sesame.

And along with members from Subtle Asian Baking, the online baking group she founded, are a diverse array of original and member-submitted drool-worthy recipes for cookies and bakes incorporating ingredients from the diaspora including gochujang, ube, miso, fish sauce, sambal, tahini, matcha, and MSG stirred into each batter and dough.

“The perfect guide for crafting a family-style feast or a simple one-bowl meal at the end of a busy workday.” —Forbes*As Featured in The New York Times*The New Asian Cooking is bolder and more assertive, less fussy and more casual. With these easy-to-shop-for, quick-to-cook recipes, you can try—and will fall in love with—this trending style right in your own kitchen.Heaped on big plates, Sichuan beef and broccoli and Indian chicken tikka masala are timeless comfort foods, to be sure, but there’s a brand-new style of Asian cooking that’s giving them a run for their money. It’s more about grazing through small plates than sinking into one big one. It’s more about pan-Asian fusions—“third culture” foods, the cooking of the Asian diaspora—than about each culture’s oldest traditions. It’s more plant-forward than meat-centered. It’s irreverent and fun and incredibly delicious. And it’s all captured in Modern Asian Kitchen.Kat Lieu—the blogger and online personality who presides over the Subtle Asian Baking corner of the enormously popular Subtle Asian Traits online community, and who is the author of Modern Asian Baking at Home—serves up more than 80 inventive recipes for: Vibrant vegetable dishes like Sichuan-style fish-fragrant eggplant and umami-packed braised shiitake mushroomsQuick noodle dishes for super-easy lunchesQuick-fix matcha ramen bowls and simple miso soupsDim sum, with tricks and food hacks like rice-paper shrimp dumplingsStreet-food favorites like Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the air fryerCustomizable bibimbap bowls for busy-weeknight dinnersSoutheast Asian favorites like cold-papaya salads, streaming hot phos, and spring rolls with surprising things inside and punchy chile-crisp coatings on the outside The recipes also include: Umami-Packed Spiral Cucumber SaladSumptuous Siu Mai and Easy Dim Sum Melty Cheesecake Bao Tony’s Spicy Cumin SkewersCrispy Crackling Roast PorkClay Pot Taiwanese Three-Cup ChickenMapo Tofu and VeggiesPandan Tres Leches with a Kaya Drizzle Whether you are cooking a family-style feast of a dozen exciting dishes for the sharing table, or you just want a simple and hearty one-bowl meal at the end of a busy workday (or a quick meal when you work from home), you will find a lifetime of tasty ideas in the pages of Modern Asian Kitchen.

It's another suck-tastic summer for book nerd and baker, Sara Lee-Affen. She's broke, she's single, and she'll probably die a virgin. At her beautiful cousin's wedding, Sara meets a sexy and delicious stud muffin, Ian Forrests. He's totally her cup of tea, that is until he laughs at her misery when a bee burrows into her ear. Yes, a dang bee. She's dying (well not really) as he's dying from laughter. What a jerk. A smoking hot, Adonis of a jerk with strikingly green eyes, dark hair, and drool-worthy pecs and eight-pack abs. As luck and fate would have it, Sara keeps bumping into Ian all summer long and ends up working for him as a pastry chef at his failing bakery. Despite her better judgment, Sara falls for the sexy, badass rich boy. She discovers the truth about Ian: he's a tortured soul who's still pining for his deceased girlfriend, Sarah. One look at Sarah's picture and poor Sara knows that she could never compete. She could never be Ian's cup of tea. Or could she? Note: This version of My Cup of Tea is completely different from the previously published version. Genre: New Adult Romantic Comedy This story unfolds over two volumes. Due to some adult situations and language, this novella is meant for readers 13 years and older. My Cup of Tea, Too will be available Summer 2014. Other books by Kat Lieu include Maid for Me, and Maid for Me, Too.
