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 ? "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 : Sampan Congee, Lotus Leaf Rice, "Egg" Tarts Cha Chaan Teng 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 : "Fish Fragrant" Eggplant, Sweet & Sour Cauliflower, Snow Skin Mooncakes Siu Yeh (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.
