A new cookbook celebrates a family's life around Chinese food, from Guangzhou to Minneapolis, Mike Peters reports.
Leeann Chin knew it would be hard for her children to assimilate as Chinese-Americans growing up in the northern US state of Minnesota.
"My mother did everything she could to help us fit in, like bringing us to Sons of Norway events, but every night she made us Chinese food," her daughter Katie Chin writes in her new book. "We didn't fully appreciate the gourmet Chinese meals we were served, and secretly wished we were eating Hamburger Helper like all the other kids. Foolish, I know."
