The right stuff

Two sisters from a Guangzhou family have taken their culinary traditions from a food cart to a new cookbook, after getting a boost from a celebrity British chef, Cecily Liu reports from London.

For Amy and Julie Zhang, cooking Chinese food means much more than filling their stomachs or enjoying a delicious meal: It is about reliving sweet childhood memories that they grew up with and their eagerness to share their passion for cooking with the world.

Originally from Guangzhou, the sisters grew up in New Zealand where they helped their parents cook and sell food from their food cart at a Sunday market every week.
