You'll find favorites like bao, buns, wontons, and dumplings that are great to make in bulk—all freezer-friendly to help you save time and have them on hand for when the mood strikes!
With gorgeous step-by-step photography and heartwarming stories about traveling in Asia and finding the best street food in Taiwan, Tiffy Cooks celebrates Asian food and family in this must-make collection of go-to recipes.

Good cookbook but takes some time
"I've only tried a few of the recipes so far but I'm loving them. The book gives new and also familiar recipes which I enjoy although a fair amount requires a decent amount of time or effort. A downside is that some of the ingredients can be tricky to find or a bit costly."

Love the recipes even though some ingredients are hard to find.
"I’ve been following Tiffy on IG and so when she came out with a cook book then I immediately got one. The book is beautiful. It’s hard cover with thick pages and lots of photos. I love that she wrote her story and describes some of he families traditions around food. Some of the recipes are involved and require ingredients that you won’t find at Maxi, but every recipe I tried so far has been delicious!"
