Easy Recipes2_My 2nd Cookbook01

Here comes another excited news that I want to share with you all. I’m absolutely over the moon. My 2nd cookbook is officially released and hits the shelves of many large bookstores in Hong Kong.

It’s been over 3 years after my 1st cookbook, Easy Recipes-A Selection of Simple Classics, was published. Without your support, sending your feedbacks and love of my recipes, I won’t have the energy and motivation to publish another cookbook. I used to think that all is done if a dish is finished cooking and enjoyed by my loved ones, without a second thought of publishing it at all. All encouraging and kind words, from facebook, emails or blog comments, are received with my deepest gratitude. I feel so awesome, when this new cookbook is released. It's just like a lovely baby born in the family after 9 months of pregnancy as well as the labour of love.

If you’re living in Hong Kong, this post seems to be late for you as this new cookbook is already distributed to many large bookstores in Hong Kong. For other bookstores overseas, like Taiwan, Malaysia or Singapore, the delivery will come in a bit later, but it'll be very soon hopefully. The photos of these copies I took and posted here were just received three days ago. Thanks for my publisher’s speedy DHL service. Now I can feel the real cookbook in my hands, just like holding an adorable baby in my arms.

Back to the contents of this new cookbook, it’s written in both English and Chinese as the previous one. It’s a hand-picked collection of the most popular and well-liked recipes on this blog, together with some new recipes that are never-published before and well tested. On top of that, I shared 7 basic cooking methods, including pan-fry, stir-fry, blanch, deep-fry, steam, stew/braise and bake with tips on how to make a dish successfully and avoiding some common mistakes.

The title of this cookbook is:
《簡易食譜2》 Easy Recipes 2 - A Selection of Beloved Recipes
ISBN︰9789626788936
First Published in Dec. 2015
By Etpress Hong Kong
ISBN︰9789626788936

How does this cookbook look like?
  • A selection of 58 popular and delicious recipes, including breakfast, main, snack, soup, dessert, cake and bread for home cooks.

Q&A:
Q. Where can I get this cookbook - 《簡易食譜2》 Easy Recipes 2-A Selection of Beloved Recipes?
A. If you’re living in Hong Kong, that’s easy and straight forward. You can get your hands on it from any bookshops in Hong Kong, like The Commercial Press (商務印書館), Joint Publishing HK (三聯書店), Zhonghua Book Company (中華書局), Eslite Hong Kong (香港誠品), Cosmos Books (天地書店), Popular Bookstore (大眾書局).

Q. I’m living overseas, e.g. US, Canada, Australia, South East Asia or other countries except Hong Kong, how can I buy your cookbook?
A. It’s easy too. Overseas readers / fans can make use of the online service rendered by my publisher, Etpress 經濟日報出版社, and place your order on their official website.

Note: For those who read English, my publisher has created an English order page where you'll find a shopping demo to help you understand how to go about placing your order.

Q. Can I get your cookbook in Malaysia or Singapore? (Remark: This is a question repeatedly asked by my fans from Malaysia on facebook.)
A. If you’re living in Malaysia, Singapore or any districts in South East Asia, and want to get your copy from nearby bookshops, you might like to approach the nearby bookshop and ask for help. They’d order it from my publisher, Etpress 經濟日報出版社, once they realize there’s a need.

  5. Congrats! I'm excited to get the new book. Is there a way for me to purchase the book without signing up for an account? Would you be using Amazon in the future to sell to your fans as well?

    1. Hi Euphoricblu,

      Thanks for your kind words.

      I asked my publisher to list my cookbook on Amazon and they did as I requested.
      As I saw the price listed there is not so competitive, so I don't recommend here. The price is included the postal fees from Hong Kong to Amazon, then Amazon to buyers, plus admin fees for Amazon.
      If you're keen to get a copy from there, here's the Amazon order link.

  6. This is silly! Why don't you get it listed on Amazon.com or eBay? I want to purchase it, put not through your publisher.

    1. I totally understand what you meant here. Thanks for your suggestion and your interest in getting my cookbook.

      My publisher has already listed my cookbook on Amazon and eBay. As far as I'm concerned, the price is included the postal fees from Hong Kong to Amazon, then Amazon to buyers, plus admin fees for Amazon, as a result it doesn't look so competitive, so I don't recommend here on my blog.

      If you're keen to get your copy through these sites, the order links are here: Amazon order link and eBay order link.

      Thanks again for your love of my recipes.

  7. Your Hong Kong publisher order page is totally in Chinese/Mandarin, not a single word of English. I like your recipes very much, and I want you to succeed, but when I can't order your cookbook from Canada, that is your fault. Think outside of the box: Your blog reaches many non-Asian readers!

  12. Hi Christine,

    I live in the US and I would like to be able to purchase the Chinese written version of the book for my mother-in-law. I saw some links to purchase the English one in the US, but how can I purchase the Chinese one?

    Thanks!

      I guess so. My cookbooks could be out of print. You might follow the link to the publisher’s website and send them an email to confirm if you want.
