Recipes from My Home Kitchen: Asian and American Comfort Food from the Winner of MasterChef Season 3 on FOX: A Cookbook Hardcover – Illustrated, 14 May 2013

After watching Christine win Masterchef and seeing some of the incredible dishes that she produced it was hard to resist buying this cook book.This recipe book has a much different feel to any i have read before - it has a great story that fits in with all of the dishes in the book.Christine is such an inspirational cook due to the fact that she has quite a substantial disability for a chef - not being able to see.For any home cook that is looking to learn some great new recipes and be inspired along the way - this is the book for you.

After seeing Christine on Masterchef US i was looking forward to reading her recipes.This is a high quality, very usable cookbook. Simple process to follow recipes, but i was particularly impressed with the way her personal story was told throughout.I would definitely recommend this book, and look forward to seeing Christine's future publications as she is a true inspiration to all those touched by disability

Excellent recipes from a remarkable lady. Recommended.

I bought this book for a friend as a birthday present because she is a fan of Christine ever since the MC auditions period. I am a passionate cook myself, so thought I'd see what it's like and if I love it I'd order one more for myself. I haven't had a chance to cook all the recipes from it, but what I noticed is that Christine has put a lot of effort into making it a cookbook of a lifetime. It is easy to follow, has many stories of each dish that you could share at dinner parties and there is a touch of something special about the book. I loved the flavours as well as the fact that I have seen some of those dishes in making and was very curious to know the recipe.I have dropped one star for the organisation of the book. Although the illustrations and the layouts are very appealing and inspiring, the way the book is broken into chapters is not the most convenient if you decide to create a whole menu out of it.

I loved watching Christine at MC and her story is truly amazing and inspiring. And beyond!Was really happy to buy the book and get into her culinary world. While the book is good quality and with a lot of recipes none of them truly stood out for me or were very new to see. Also how the recipes are sectioned is a bit confusing ...however it is always easy to criticise...for a new cook or someone trying to try something new but not very adventurous in the kitchen this would be a good start.

So the first thing to realise is that being American the recipes are not in Grams, which is not a big issue but people will complain. The way the book is laid out took me a while to get used to as many recipes reference a second recipe in a different part of the book, an example would be the pulled pork sliders. The recipe for this references a dry tub mix recipe so you have to jump back and forth a bit. If you can cope with that then you will get to really enjoy this book
