The Chinese Soup Kitchen by John Mak

By Book Goodies

TheChineseSoupKitchen

What inspired you to write your book?
I wanted to document all my mother’s recipes from Guangdong, China or it would be lost forever. Also I wanted to use for reference for myself. I din’t want to lose the culinary culture that part of Chinese culture, I never want to lose. My Parents immigrating her. Typically, the next generation already lost the language. Keeping the Culinary side of my heritage is very important to me.

How do you see writing a food/cookbook as different from writing other genres of books?
It is non-fiction. It ca be used as a reference book over an over again. Most fiction books are read just once or a couple of times and then put in storage forever. Never to be seen again. many Cookbooks are used over and over again until the person memorizes the book.

Advice to someone that is thinking about or currently working on a food book or cookbook
Be patient, it takes long er to make a cookbook than any other kind of genre. Take lots of pictures or videos, which will take even longer. Be committed and dedicated, don’t give up. Look towards your goal and complete your task, even if it takes two years or longer.

How did you decide how to publish your book and where is it published through:
It was published thru authorhouse.com and amazon.com. Self publishing is the way to go.
