Josh and Trigg have made Taiwanese American food approachable for any home cook.
This book is as much a celebration of Taiwanese culture and cuisine as it is Win Son.
The food at Win Son and in this book is so vibrant and so damned delicious, you will want to scrape the bowls clean.
“This absolutely beautiful book tells a story filled with friends, family, redemption, and deliciousness.”
“Josh and Trigg changed my life. Ever since my first bite of their Big Chicken Bun, I’ve seen the world from a whole new perspective.”
“Whenever I’m asked for restaurant recommendations, Win Son is the place I send people to. To be able to cook my menu favorites at home is the absolute best and to read the stories behind the dishes is even better.”
“Josh and Trigg showed me, a Taipei native, a fresh and delicious perspective on Taiwanese food, which is gorgeously captured throughout this book.”
“This book shows how a small but mighty Brooklyn restaurant has earned its place in Taiwan’s ever- changing food landscape.”
