If you don't have an Asian grandmother, Tila's got you covered." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinal From the Author A Kid From LA I grew up in the great city of Los Angeles, which is a perfect melting pot! Within a 10-mile radius, there was Thai Town, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Boyle Heights, a Central American hood and little Phillipinotown. That meant I grew up eating these ethnic cuisines daily and had access to legendary institutions like Spago, Michael's and Border Grill. LA has such a unique culinary landscape and it's a city I love to the marrow.   My Chinese grandparents moved to Thailand, where my parents were born, and then my parents came to LA in 1966. My grandmother was my first culinary teacher. I sat on the counter and watched her make dinner every night. As I got older, we'd take the bus to LA's Chinatown, eat dim sum, buy groceries for the day, then come home and cook. I saw thousands of dinners cooked in front of me and, eventually, I was able to help.   I worked at my family's restaurants and markets. I got to see food in 360˚, from farm to market, market to restaurant, then cook to table. I had such a unique culinary upbringing, and that was just my first 15 years.

I think there are two types of chefs in the world. The first type are the ones who want to innovate and create new combinations of flavors. And then there's the sort that I am, the artisans who want to study and cook the foods from the past that have profoundly influenced and interested them. I want to learn and cook the classics, become so intimately familiar with them, that I can understand where they came from. And I want to know why: why does this dish exist and why is it so delicious? In my opinion, the why takes us deeper into appreciating any dish. And it's my passion to translate it into common terms and make them easy to understand, to demystify them. I want to make them easy to cook in any home. My goal is to get you as close as possible to the authentic and delicious. But more, I want you to understand the mechanics of these ethnic cuisines. If you want to cook authentic, delicious food, just follow my directions using the right ingredients. But if you want to really un
