A visual and sumptuous ode to Hong Kong that reimagines 88 classic and iconic dishes as colorful and beautiful plant-based meals.

A common Chinese greeting is 食咗飯未呀? “Have you eaten (rice) yet?” which is how Christine Wong’s paternal grandmother would welcome her home during her childhood in Hong Kong. Food was the language of love, with birthdays and special events always celebrated with family meals, from nine-course banquet-style restaurant feasts to simple home-cooked dinners. After leaving Hong Kong and adopting a vegan lifestyle for health and sustainability reasons, Christine yearned to recreate the flavors and textures of her family’s food at home without animal by-products.

The Vibrant Hong Kong Table celebrates many of Hong Kong’s most iconic dishes with a vegan twist. Organized by a day of eating through the city and paying homage to its culinary heritage, these fresh, bright, vegetable-based recipes include:
Breakfast and Dim Sum 點心: Sampan Congee, Lotus Leaf Rice, “Egg” Tarts
Cha Chaan Teng 茶餐廳 and Lunchbox Favorites: Baked Tempeh Chop Rice, Black-Pink Pepper Cabbage Steak, Jackfruit Brisket Noodles
Family-Style Dinners, from Festival Foods to Dai Pai Dongs 大牌檔: “Fish Fragrant” Eggplant, Sweet & Sour Cauliflower, Snow Skin Mooncakes
Siu Yeh 宵夜 (Late-Night Snacks) and Sweets: Curry “Fishballs,” Three Treasures, Hong Kong Sweet Buns

"Hong Kong Highlights," included throughout, showcase cultural customs such as balancing yin and yang and sharing food family-style. And Mama Wong’s tips for using ingredients like lotus root, taro, and salted oranges, offer an immersive experience of Hong Kong’s culinary and societal traditions. With beautiful imagery, intimate storytelling, and easy-to-follow instructions, The Vibrant Hong Kong Table is a treasury of fresh and inspiring vegan meals straight from the heart of this magnificent city to your home.

UNIQUE VEGAN COOKBOOK: Born out of hardship, hard work, and diverse cultural influences, Hong Kong’s food culture is an integral part of its history. Author Christine Wong taps into her culinary heritage to offer a window into this incredible city through vibrant memories and colorful, flavorful, plant-based spins on classic dishes like Crystal Dumplings, Salt & Pepper "Squid," Laughing Sesame Cookies, and of course, Hong Kong Milk Tea.

GOOD FOR THE PLANET AND YOU: These easy vegan recipes offer a way to move toward a sustainable plant-based diet without sacrificing flavor. Based on time-tested Hong Kong cooking techniques and flavors, these recipes are designed to be easy to follow and sharable, offering nourishing meals for weeknight dinners and work-from-home lunches.

A TOUR OF HONG KONG: Filled with beautiful and evocative photography, The Vibrant Hong Kong Table captures all the intoxicating sights, sounds, and smells that Hong Kong is famous for.

Perfect for:
Chinese cookbook fans looking for East Asian or Hong Kong–specific recipes
Home cooks seeking delicious plant-based and vegan recipes
People interested in ways to eat more sustainably
Travel-inspired gift for birthday, anniversary, holiday, housewarming, and more

The Wine Lover's Bucket List: 1,000 Amazing Adventures in Pursuit of Wine

Author Simon J. Woolf

An inspirational guide designed with the globe-trotting wine lover in mind--vineyards to visit, seasons to go, vintages and organics to drink, and how to get the most out of each wine region.
The adventures featured in this atmospherically illustrated book will fuel the wine lover's imagination with an almost endless array of vineyard visits, must-see sights, and must-do events--harvest festivals, vineyard picnics, wine-region weekends, tasting tours, wine-
focused restaurants.

Designed to highlight the world's most rewarding wine destinations, this guide spans the spectrum from traditional (a wine luncheon in Bordeaux or touring Portugal's port lodges) to fun and quirky. Some ideas are active--a cycling tour of the Champagne region or grape stomping in the Italian countryside--while others are more urban, such as a tour of Vienna's summer wine gardens or Rome's iconic enotecas. Sidebar panels throughout detail what makes each region special and include lists of the top five local wines to seek out.

There is something here for all palates and all levels of expertise--from regular contributors to #WineWednesdays to the budding oenophile just starting out.

Join Sofi—an inquisitive, clumsy, brave bunny—as she starts saying YES in ten stories for children learning to look after themselves and their things in The Yes Bunny

Meet the Yes Bunny: the bunny who says no to everything . . . except for having fun! She doesn’t want to wash her bunny ears; she doesn’t want to clean her room; she only brushes her big buck teeth for a single second . . . until one day when she discovers that learning how to do things is actually quite FUN.

With a little imagination, she discovers that she can make her bunny ears into airplane wings at bath time; she can make her bed into a pirate carrot ship when she cleans her room; she can have a toothpaste foam party when she brushes her teeth . . . and more!

Kids will enjoy cheering on the Yes Bunny as she discovers how to do ten new things:

The Yes Bunny Puts On Her Winter Clothes
The Yes Bunny Makes Her Bed
The Yes Bunny Has a Bath
The Yes Bunny Waits For Her Turn to Speak
The Yes Bunny Looks After a Plant
The Yes Bunny Says Sorry and Means It
The Yes Bunny Tries New Foods
The Yes Bunny Tidies Up
The Yes Bunny Gets Ready for Bed
The Yes Bunny Shares Her Special Thing


At the end of each story are easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that kids can use for trying each task themselves. Children will gain confidence and thrive as they gain more independence.

Charmingly illustrated by Ella Bailey, this first of its kind graphic novel is the perfect book for parents who want to help children to do basic things without the struggle . . . and for kids who need the fun put back into everyday tasks.
