Recipes and stories from a city on the water, author Betty Liu presents an enchanting and intimate look into this city and its delicious cuisine through 100 recipes and stories, along with more than 150 spectacular photographs. Liu goes beyond the traditional recipes from this exciting region and takes readers into the heart of what defines Chinese food – the people and their food traditions, as well as the evolution of a dynamic cuisine into the future. Though they harken back centuries, the dishes in My Shanghai are thoroughly modern – fresh and vibrant, sophisticated yet understated, and all bursting with complex flavors that will please even the most discriminating adventurous palate.

“My Shanghai contains everything I look for in a cookbook: personal storytelling, trustworthy information, new-to-me recipes that teach as much as they entice, and stunning photography that s instantly transportive. Betty Liu has raised the bar. – Julia Turshen, author of Simply Julia and founder of Equity at the Table
