Internet star launches cookbook with homemade recipes

When, on May 16, 2013, Li Ruowen uploaded her first cooking video on YouTube - a video of her making white asparagus wrapped with Italian ham - she had little inkling how it would shape her life. Since then her hobby has grown into a lucrative career.

Known on the internet by her pseudonym, Amanda, Li now has accumulated more than 10 million followers across numerous social media platforms.

This month, after four years of preparation, Li launched her first cookbook, Amanda Tastes, which has 94 of her recipes for preparing meat, vegetables, seafood, baked goods, sauces, snacks and desserts.
