O, The Oprah Magazine's Cookbook of the Month
Yahoo! Food's Cookbook of the Week

In Lucky Rice, Danielle Chang, founder of the festival of the same name-which brings night markets, grand feasts, and dumpling-making sessions to America's biggest cities-feeds our obsession for innovative Asian cuisine through 100 recipes inspired by a range of cultures.

Here, comfort foods marry ancient traditions with simple techniques and fresh flavors-and include a few new classics as well: chicken wings marinated in hot Sichuan seasonings; sweet Vietnamese coffee frozen into pops; and one-hour homemade kimchi that transforms pancakes, tacos, and even Bloody Marys. With a foreword by Lisa Ling, this lushly photographed cookbook brings the fun and flavors of modern Asian cooking to your kitchen.

DANIELLE CHANG is the founder of the LUCKYRICE festival, a national celebration of Asian cultures and cuisines that has taken place in more than seven cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. She is also the host and creator of Lucky Chow, a PBS series about Asian food culture in America. Born in Taipei, Danielle lives with her family in New York.
