Episode 4- Afro-Asian-American Cooking and The Chinese Kitchen Garden...Celebrating Culturally Growing

I recently shared a terrific book on my blog, Between Harlem and Heaven, Afro- Asian- American Cooking for Big Nights, Weeknights, and Every Day, a collaboration between J.J. Johnson and Alexander Smalls with Veronica Chambers. This is not just a cookbook, but a melting pot of cultural stories with the advice of "just try the sauces on everything". This is a must-have as you begin to grow this season and celebrate the diversity found in the garden. You can read this review on my blog, https://www.cottageinthecourt.com.

As I focus on cooking and growing, it is the perfect time to chat with a friend that understands cultural cooking. The Chinese Kitchen Garden - Growing techniques and family recipes from a classic cuisine by Wendy Kiang-Spray is another book to reference. A local gardener in the DMV, Wendy has such a delightful story to share. The story of how this book came about is quite touching. Wendy shares moments with her Dad in the garden. Together they sowed seeds of unspoken love, trials, and truth of immigrant survival. Wendy also shares her perspective on engaging with the earth for beginning as well as seasoned gardeners. Published by Timber Press it is a story, a resource, and more than worthy of being in your kitchen. A Timber Press book is always a good thing to have - especially when the topic is gardening!
