(This is not the real cover of the cookbook. It’s just one of the pictures I’d shot for the book.)
(Updated: Thanks sooooo much for your warm participation. Due to the overwhelming responses, this is now closed. I will be selecting the participants these two days. Those selected will be contacted via email. Thanks again!! )
I am almost done with the cookbook writing and am ready for recipe testing. My cookbook will be released in Fall 2011, by Tuttle/Periplus Publishing. It will be available worldwide. The title of the cookbook is not final yet, but it’s likely to be “EASY CHINESE: Chinese Classics, All-time Favorites to Dim Sum & Dumplings” or something along the line. Regardless of its final title, it’s a Chinese recipes cookbook with 80+ easy, healthy, and delicious Chinese recipes. It has tons of new recipes, color photography (styled and shot by yours truly), step-by-step picture guide, and more!
For the recipe testers, here is what I am looking for…
Chinese food fans and enthusiasts from all over the world, especially those based in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific. However, if you are based elsewhere, you are most welcome to volunteer.
If you are interested, here is what you need to do:
Leave a comment on this post with the following information:
- Your current location:
- Your Chinese cooking level: Professional / Intermediate / Beginner
- Make sure you have the correct email address in the E-mail field in the comment form so I can contact you.
What will you get in returns?
- Your name in the Acknowledgments chapter
- I’ll be giving away two (2) copies of my cookbook to the participants, so you will be entered into a raffle to win the cookbook, when it’s available.
- You’ll get to see the picture of the dish you will be testing (including the step-by-step picture guide, if applicable). No one has seen my cookbook pictures yet, and you will be the first one to see it!
What do you need to do?
- Test two (2) recipes assigned to you
- Fill out the recipe testing evaluation form (which I will provide) by August 22, 2010. The evaluation form is painless; it’s a 1-page form where you can rate the recipe and write your feedback and suggestions!
Unfortunately, not everyone volunteered will be selected to participate in the recipe testing. That being said, I might have to do a drawing to pick the recipe testers if the responses are overwhelming. If you are selected, I will be in touch with you via email.
Thank you so very much for your kind support and I look forward to working with you! :)

Congratulations in the launch of your cookbook!
I would love to test the recipes for you.
I grew up in Malaysia and really missed all the ethnic Chinese, Malaysian and Indonesian food. And of course, missed so much the Peranakan style dishes and desserts!
I love to cook and guest that must have come from mom! Accompanying mom to the market and watching her is where I initially learned the intricate details, styles and techniques.
Currently I am located in San Jose, California. And I have access to almost all ingredients and spices locally, in San Francisco or online.
Please let me know how i can best help you.
Blessings!
I live in Chicago and consider myself an intermediate Asian cook. I grew up in Singapore but have lived in the states since I came over for college 10 years ago, so I am always looking for opportunities to learn how to cook food that reminds me of home. Also, my mom did not cook the way most traditional Chinese moms cook, so I didn’t get to learn a lot about Chinese cooking, picked up most of my skills from blogs like yours.

Austin, Texas, where we have some very good Asian markets and several terrific Chinese restaurants. I’d say intermediate at the cooking (many years’ practice but Chinese cooking is a huge topic so maybe I’m more of a beginner!), expert at the eating — Chinese food is always my favorite and we’ll try anything. We’ve traveled to China often, have Chinese relatives. Love every recipe I’ve tried from your website! Congratulations on the cookbook!

your ginger scallion crab recipe was what started my adventures in the kitchen! especially after my trip to singapore and malaysia, your recipes have been a great help for when i miss dishes like chili stingray where your recipe for grilled chili fish was remarkably quite close! now if we can only get baby kailan in the u.s.!
i’m located in san francisco, california and i would consider my cooking school as beginner.
I would love to be a recipe tester! I am from Tempe, AZ and would say that I have an intermediate level with Chinese cooking…mostly stems from the fact that I am Vietnamese and we use a lot of similar products. I have very easy access to any asian ingredient since we have specialty stores in the area that I live. I hope I am chosen and can provide you with some wonderful feedback. :) You can contact me at jmeyer814@yahoo.com Thanks!

Dear Bee, I am a Singaporean Chinese who is currently based in London. Before I came to London, I hardly cooked, but I am kinda forced to learn when I come here, so you are like my ‘teacher’ because I learnt so many great recipes from your website! I would be so excited and happy and honoured if I can try some recipes for you! ^^ I only have 1+ year of cooking experience, so you can say I am a beginner. :)
I would so love to be involved in testing your recipes. While my general cooking and food knowledge is advanced, my Chinese cooking level is intermediate. Would love to learn more from you.
