Un banquet pour Cecilia : Comment Cecilia Chiang a révolutionné la cuisine chinoise en Amérique

I was thrilled to find a signed copy—both signatures are crisp and clean on the title page, which makes it a real keepsake for my cookbook shelf. The way it traces Cecilia’s journey from her early kitchen days to transforming fine dining in America kept me hooked past my bedtime.

The illustrations by Melissa Iwai are absolutely gorgeous, and seeing both signatures on the title page makes it feel like a keepsake. I learned so much about Cecilia’s impact on American dining that I never knew before.

The signed copies by Julie Leung and Melissa Iwai make this a special keepsake for anyone who loves food history—I grabbed it for my mom, and she’s already reading passages aloud. The way it weaves Cecilia Chiang’s story with the dishes makes you want to cook along.
