I just went on Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family Show and made this delicious, fresh and easy Chinese Chicken Salad recipe from my new cookbook, “Everyday Chinese Cookbook: 101 Delicious Recipes from My Mother’s Kitchen!” It’s the perfect recipe for Mother’s Day and my new cookbook makes a great Mother’s Day gift! It’s available at Barnes & Noble, select Costco stores, other fine booksellers and on Amazon.com. Click here to order the book on Amazon now.
Here I am with the wonderful Home and Family co-hosts Cristina Ferrare and Mark Steines.
During my cooking segment, they showed a clip from my seven year-old daughter’s Youtube channel: Becca’s Yummytown!! She was so excited when she saw and her friend Abby on TV!
I was thrilled that Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a guest on the show as well. I catered a fundraising event at her clothing store, Kyle by Alene Too, so it was fun to reconnect with her. She even gave me a shout out about my Chinese Chicken Salad on Instagram!
Here’s a fun way to serve Chinese Chicken Salad! I got these Chinese take-out containers at Cost Plus World Market.

1 teaspoon minced garlic
