Once again rating/reviewing a cookbook I read like a book-book without attempting any of the recipes, whoops. 3.5, rounded up to 4 for goodreads as I overall liked the concept and the idea of most of these recipes though my other recurring thought was, "...aren't these just recipes though?" because not every one struck me as fusion-ish. 

That might be because my mom is ALSO a Georgian-born Chinese woman (and technically so am I, even though I grew up westward) so Asianish dishes are what I grew up with. I appreciate the specificity re: certain suggested spices/liquids/etc. though substitutes are mentioned, as well as a reference guide in the back for where to find things (while our parents and grandparents may have had to make do with limited ingredient options at the grocery store, in the 2020s Asian/international groceries are more frequent and with the internet, many things are accessible though they might not be cheap). 

Easily felt like I was reading something by a cousin though my family's from a different diaspora wave.
