"While bok choy is now a staple on Western grocery store shelves, other Asian vegetables remain unknown--even though they're delicious, nutritious, and easy to grow in northern climates. Caroline, Stéphanie, and Patricia Ho-Yi Wang, three sisters of Cantonese descent, have made it their mission to introduce gardeners, cooks, and vegetable lovers of all flavours to wider sources of sustenance. Organized around fifteen Asian vegetables that are presented according to the rhythm of the seasons, this lush, full-colour book offers advice on growing and harvesting organic crops intended for both weekend and commercial gardeners, along with a host of ideas to preserve and prepare them, including forty or so recipes, some of which have been developed by renowned chefs."

Stéphanie, Caroline and Patricia Wang are, respectively, a farmer, a dietician, and a musician. The three sisters teach about and spread love for Asian vegetables in this unique work, simultaneously a gardening guide, a cookbook, and a family memoir. The vegetables they’ve chosen are all grown at Rizen, the organic farm that Stéphanie founded at Frelighsburg, in the Eastern Townships of Québec.
