From the homes of our Taiwanese parents, aunties, uncles, and grandparents, the nonprofit Taiwanese American Citizens League (TACL) has compiled a series of tried-and-true recipes into a practical cookbook. What we love about this cookbook is its utility; these are recipes that have been tested amid the busyness of everyday life—of raising children and taking care of households. Case in point: the book is divided into sections like “Children’s Party,” including Easy Meatballs and Dumplings, and “Easy Weeknight Dinner,” including Beef Noodle Soup and Garlic Shrimp.

The book was first published in 1995 to benefit Leading Youth Forward, a Taiwanese youth summer camp, and was only reprinted once... until TACL decided to reissue it in 2022. All sales of this cookbook benefit the youth summer camp they still run in the Bay Area.

Note: All proceeds go directly to the Taiwanese American Citizens League – Leading Youth Forward (TACL-LYF).
