Tenderheart by Hetty Lui Mckinnon
'A love letter to vegetables and almost a memoir through recipes, this truly special book speaks to the soul as much as to the stomach.' - Nigella Lawson Winner of the James Beard Vegetable-Focused Cooking Book Award Heritage and food have always been linked for Hetty Lui McKinnon. Tenderheart is a loving homage to her father, a Chinese immigrant in Australia, told in flavourful, vegetarian recipes. Growing up as part of a Chinese family in Australia, McKinnon formed a deep appreciation for her bicultural identity, and for her father, who moved to Sydney as a teenager and learned English while selling bananas at a local market. As he brought home crates full of produce after work, McKinnon learned about the beauty and versatility of fruits and vegetables. Tenderheart is the happy outcome of McKinnon's love of vegetables, featuring twenty-two essential fruits and vegetables that become the basis for over 180 outstanding recipes including: Miso Mushroom Ragu with Baked Polenta Carrot and Vermicelli Buns Crispy Potato Tacos Kale, Ginger and Green Onion Noodles Broccoli Wontons with Umami Crisp Soy-Butter Bok Choy Pasta Sweet Potato and Black Sesame Marble Bundt
A very moving book about family love and how everyday cooking is built into thatHetty McKinnon is never sentimental. She truly understands how to nurture - deliciously - with vegetables. When you cook out of this book you can't not think of that. You feel as if every dish is you make is a tribute to this approach to life. -- Diana Henry
