It is the eve of Lunar New Year, all of Jin's relatives have gathered to celebrate at his house. His mother, grandmother and aunties are all cooking a big feast. Jin would love to learn to cook. Will they let him help?
Boys Don't Fry is a sweet story with very colorful pictures. I love the message that everyone should be able to enjoy cooking! This book also mentioned several dishes from Peranakan Chinese culture which I have never heard of before.
