Bad B*tch in the Kitch: Craveable Asian Recipes to Ditch the Takeout: A Cookbook

Y'all. This book is worth every penny. I'm a sucker for instagram/ TikTok influencer cookbooks, and the quality is usually meh with recipes that are meh as well. The last influencer cookbook I bought had non glossy pages. Which I despise in a cookbook. And just felt so cheap. Like WHY.NOT THIS ONE. NOT EVEN CLOSE. The quality is superb and the recipes are amazing. The pictures are gorgeous; the quality of the book alone makes it worth it. But these amazing recipes to boot?! Come onnnn. I haven't been this inspired by a cookbook in. So. Long.Get this cookbook I swear you won't regret it!

This is a BEAUTIFUL cookbook! I’ve been following Cassie for quite some time now. I’ve been such a fan of her bubbly personality and her simple Asian inspired dishes. When I saw she was dropping a cookbook I ran so fast to buy! $30 very well spent. The quality, the presentation, the detail, the description of each recipe. Everything about this cookbook is fun JUST LIKE CASSIE! I hope she drops more after this. I’m such a proud supporter 💕

Not only is this book aesthetically beautiful, but recipes come with helpful notes and a QR code that will bring you straight to a video walking you through step by step-a detail I hope will become more common.If you’re thinking about buying this book, chances are you’re already familiar with Cassie from TikTok or YouTube, but if not, I personally find her videos to be extremely helpful. She wastes no time or words-she tells you and shows you exactly what you need and makes every recipe easy to understand.

I’ve waited months for this book to drop!First the book itself. She’s sturdy! Great quality paper used. It just feels right in the hands. The pages are so glossy. Almost makes me not wanna get it dirty, but it’s a cookbook. It’s gonna get dirty eventually. I just love their overall quality of it.Second the personality. I love that Cassie wrote herself into each page. Check out the Soy Sauce chicken recipe to see what I mean. It feels like she’s right there cooking with you. Maybe I’m just a huge fan and I’m fan girling over here, but I absolutely love it. There are no “appetizers” it’s “First Bite Besties”. When it finally clicked I started laughing. Of course we’d get the first bite!Last the recipes. All of my favorites are in there. I was soooo hoping both oxtail and chicken pho would be in it and they were. Plus so many more. The instructions are super easy to follow. The ingredients list is in red which draws my eyes quicker. For someone who has trouble starting reading again that is a huge help. My eyes refocus much easier. Possibly my favorite part is the little red chili QR codes to scan. They take you to the video of Cassie making that recipe! I scream I scrumpt.There are so many details that went into this. I’ve never read a cookbook cover to cover before. This one is super affordable and worth every penny. I’ve already made some rangoons with other recipes planned in the next few days. I’ll update later, but honestly you can’t convince me this isn’t an absolute masterpiece. Thanks Cassie!!! Much love bestie!!!!

Great recipes that include QR codes that link to videos. Recipes are easy and great for easy delicious meals

Long time follower of Cassie on TikTok. She taught me how to make Kimchi one day and it’s been a mainstay in my fridge ever since. When I heard she was releasing a cookbook? You can bet your bottom dollar I was going to snatch it up as soon as possible. This is the best cookbook I’ve ever purchased. The layout is super helpful and easy to read. She included QR codes of video walk throughs for difficult cuts for veggies and techniques that may be difficult for at home chefs to approach on their own. Cassie should have titled this “The Only Asian Recipe Book You’ll Need” because I don’t think I’ll ever need to look up another Asian recipe online again. Cassie really outdid herself here. Bravo.

I love this cookbook! I watch her content all the time, and the recipes in here are just as yummy as the ones she shares online. Everything is easy to follow, flavorful, and totally crave-worthy. Such a fun addition to my kitchen!

I've been waitingggggggg for her cookbook to come out!! I knew I was going to treat myself to this one for my birthday (it came out the week before, so I had to be patient!) But so far, everything I've made, my family has LOVED it and wanted moreeee! They've either had second helpings or asked me to make it another night! It will definitely be a staple in our kitchen meals!!

I waited since May for this cookbook and got right to it upon delivery. I made the Wet Wet sauce and put that on everything, I now have a dumplings frozen and ready in the freezer, I made the carrots so many times I can't count and now

I love exploring new recipes. This cookbook have very easy to follow instructions as well as QR codes that go directly to a YouTube video of her showing step by step how to. Most recipes have ingredients that are easy to find between grocery stores and Asian markets. It’s soo helpful that there is a picture of the final product for each recipe as well. I appreciate being able to feel her heart in this cookbook. I’m excited for my journey through this book.

10/10 you need to get this cookbook. Who needs takeout when you can make it at home and its 10x better! I've made two of the recipes (General Tso's Chicken and Shrimp fried rice) from it so far and they have both been absolutely amazing, easy to follow and turn out great.

She has a recipe for Singapore crab! …just wished she had included the honey sticky bun that went with the chili.. every time I was in Singapore, this was my favorite thing to eat so I’m excited to try this! Also wished she had more dessert recipes (ahem Pandan coconut cake please).. I do love that she has a bit of everything.. dim sum recipes, noodles, entrées, desserts etc.. definitely will be making a ton of what she has in her book. She’s one of my favorite TikTok creators..

Waited for this pre-order for several months and anticipated every time I was checking in other orders and saw this was still in the queue. I wasn’t expecting it when it finally arrived and I immediately dug in.The recipes are so approachable and I’m GRATEFUL for the first couple of sections that preface the ingredients and equipment to have on hand. The photography is gorgeous, intriguing, and sexy! This B*tch could make a photo book and I’d still buy it for the nail art, tattoos, and aesthetic.I’ve had this cook book for about a week and I’ve made 4 meals, each one tasting better than any other Asian dish I’ve ever attempted and leaving anyone I’ve fed literally moaning after the first bite.Only down side is looking like an idiot in my neighborhood Asian food store!

I waited 7 months for this on pre-order and it was SO worth the wait!!! Beautifully illustrated, very clear instructions, phenomenal tasting and easy recipes! Just by looking through and reading some of the captions, you can tell this book was a labor of love. Hard bound, sturdy, exceptional quality paper.... this will last for years and years and years of use! Definitely should be a staple in the kitchen of ANYONE that loves or knows someone who loves Asian flavors!

Cassie Yeung is at the top of the “food chain” in her chosen craft. Not only is she one of the most followed internet chefs, she wrote this beautiful book that is about so much more than recipes. The book is now on The NY Times best sellers list. At almost 70 years old, I am late to the internet influencers game, but the moment I saw one of her videos I was hooked. She is original and funny and is passionate about cooking. The book is obviously a labor of love. Every detail is exquisite. The recipes are easy to follow and she gives you options when it comes to some of the more exotic ingredients. I live two hours away from the nearest Asian grocery store, but the day after receiving the book and compiling and an extensive grocery list of her most used products, I drove to Seattle to begin stocking my new Asian pantry. Cassie inspires even the most novice cook to “just feel the vibes and measure from the heart”.

Been drooling over Cassies cooking videos for a while now. Was so excited when she announced she was writing a cookbook. Its beautifully designed,well organized, and i was surprised to find QR codes in the book. If you scan them youll be sent right to a video of her making the recipe, so you can cook along with her and she can show you the steps. Im so excited to start cooking from it!!

I've never pre-ordered or bought a book on release day in my life, much less from an influencer but I recently moved to central PA from Texas and find that my local Chinese restaurants are very much lacking flavor and quality ingredients, just like most of the rest of the local food. My guess here is that it's all tailored to the local palate, to which my new neighbors find nothing wrong. I've resigned myself to almost exclusively cooking at home. Cassie has been a life saver when I'm craving Chinese takeout which is at least once a week.Absolutely love the QR codes to videos which I like to watch before I attempt something for the first time. It's got all the takeout favorites like general Tso's chicken, lo mein, hot & sour soup, and crab rangoons, and several lesser known dishes as well. I was so psyched to see a recipe for fresh wide rice noodles. Beef ho fun is my favorite but my nearest Asian grocery is 40 minutes away and always out.

Gorgeous and quality cookbook with all her best recipes! Also includes QR codes to her videos for some of the recipes so you can see how she made it. Love it

Purchased to support one of my favorite creators but ended up LOVING all the recipes, vibrant photos and creativity that came with this book. It’s very fun and easy to read. I love how she explains why certain ingredients are not a must but “we eat with our eyes” so it should also look delicious! So happy with my purchase!!

I discovered Cassie on TikTok and preordered her cookbook. I’ve been reading through the recipes and they read just as easily as her videos. I was pleasantly surprised to find that if the recipe has a video, that video’s QR code is included. I’m looking forward to improving my Asian cooking and congrats to Cassie on her hard work coming to life!
