Freedom to cook beyond tradition
“Lo’s introduction is friendly and welcoming. She’s clear that her recipes are very much a ‘fusion’ experiment, blending her own Chinese culinary heritage, the multiculturalism of her native Toronto, and her travels. They are inspired by her experiences, and at the top of each recipe she shares her inspiration for the recipe and even includes a QR code so that we can listen to the song that reminds her of the dish.” Trish Bowering reviews My Best Friend Is Gluten-Free: 100+ Asian-inspired Recipes for Bringing People Together, by Jannell Lo (Toronto: Appetite by Random House, 2025) $30 / 9780525612780
