Fascinating and fun to read!
25 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
A treasure chest...and a treasure, Good Luck Life is a compelling collection that's as fun to read as it is fascinating.
You'll discover:
*Rosemary Gong's graceful poetry and memories of Chinese-American celebrations
* Legends and lore---secrets and significance---facts and history-to define each holiday
* Recipes and check lists for creating your own authentic Chinese-American occasion
My son and his Chinese-American wife just had a baby. Thanks to Good Luck Life, this Italian-American grandmother is already planning a Red Egg and Ginger Party to welcome her first grandchild! Starting from almost no knowledge about Chinese-American traditions, I was delighted to discover this rich resource; you will be, too!

You don't have to be Chinese-American to love this book!
28 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
It's packed with information, from practical tips on what to do when you're invited to a Chinese-American wedding to how to get better service in a Chinese restaurant. Great stories and legends, too -- the book will make you far more aware of the depth of this fascinating culture. Highly recommended.

excellent book for chinese culture and celbrations
11 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
this is an excellent book in explaining whys, whats and hows in chinese cultural events. being 1/2 euro caucasian and 1/2 chinese and growing up with grandmother and father from china, i was always curious to why we did certain things and the reason why things are a certain way. this book explains all in detail and it also has EXCELLENT RECIPES for certain all time favorite dishes...this book made everything i grew up with become clear.
this is a keeper on the self for future reference and to share with other family members and friends.
