Today I can’t be any more excited to partner with my good friend, Cynthia from Two Red Bowls, to give away her beautiful cookbook titled ‘A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures’ to 3 lucky winners!
{2018 Holiday Giveaway Series} Looking for an inspiring cookbook that you’ll not only use in the kitchen but also read in bed before falling asleep? You’ll love ‘A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures’ by Cynthia Chen McTernan who is behind the lovely, heartwarming blog – Two Red Bowls.
Enter to win this giveaway now! A Common Table will soon be one of your beloved cookbooks.
In A Common Table, Cynthia shares more than 80 Asian-inspired, modern recipes that marry food from her Chinese roots, Southern upbringing, and Korean mother-in-law’s table. The book chronicles Cynthia’s story alongside the recipes she and her family eat every day—beginning when she met her husband at law school and ate out of two battered red bowls, through the first years of her legal career in New York, to when she moved to Los Angeles to start a family.
What you’ll love about the ‘A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures’:
Filled with beautiful photographs, powerful story-telling, and gorgeous food, A Common Table is a cookbook you want to devour over and over again. You’ll find recipes that celebrate both the commonalities and the diversity of cultures: from Korean-inspired take on Hawaiian poke, peanut butter mochi cake, and gochujang eggs in purgatory.
Not only the recipes will make your mouth water, but you’d also enjoy the engaging story behind each recipe. Cynthia also makes them relatable, avoiding hard-to-find ingredients or equipment, and breaking down how to bring Asian flavors home into your own kitchen.
Above all, she believes that food can bring us together around the same table, no matter where we are from.

Sounds like a wonderful cookbook.
This food looks delicious!

Love it!
So enjoy reading your newsletters.
I can’t wait to read this!!
I can’t wait to try the roasted cauliflower kale salad! Such yummy looking dishes,
I would LOVE to add this cookbook to my growing collection. My husband and I try to cook at least one recipe from another country every week, and when we find a real winner, we plan to share it with company. Thank you for introducing us to this book.
I recently found your website and am really enjoying all the quality content. Tonight I’m making Kare Chicken. Thanks for making Japanese cooking so accessible. I’m in Tennessee and have a fantastic asian grocery nearby so I’m learning and making a lot of new and delicious food.
“A Common Table” cookbook sounds like just what I have been looking for. You see- my younger sister was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic bile duct cancer and losing weight. Taking in food is a challenge. If the food I cook looks good and what she formerly enjoyed then she will eat a little. She likes Korean food and Hawaiian poke so combined sounds nutritious & maybe to her liking. Peanut butter is a staple (usually in protein shakes) and as a mochi cake hopefully a winner. I am screening for a liver transplant myself. Cooking classes are a passion for me but they can be expensive. We had to stop working and money is tight. Even if I did not win this book I would buy it.
By the way Nami- I found out about the Nozomi Project through you and love to gift their jewelry. I love your heart as you frequently donate partial proceeds to great causes!
There are so… many things we are grateful for in life. The most precious is the eternal life with Jesus! He makes the present hopeful & beautiful in every situation.
God bless you, family and readers! And Cynthia Chen McTernan too!
Love your blog.
