Product details
Cassie Yeung likes to think of herself as a chef for the people—no professional culinary training here, just a girl who really loves to cook (and eat, obvi). She believes that the #1 rule in the kitchen is to have fun, let loose, and cook the way you want to. For Cassie, that means yelling “behind!” in her own kitchen, softening butter against her skin, and showing off her baddie nails as she pleats dumplings In , Cassie serves up the food she loves most: the Asian dishes she grew up eating and now craves on the regular. So many people know and love Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean cuisine, but they don’t always know how easy it can be to recreate their favorite dishes at home.
