Wednesday, August 2nd: Today, Chengdu-born, entrepreneur, chef and Fly By Jing founder, Jing Gao announces her debut cookbook The Book of Sichuan Chili Crisp, out September 26th via Ten Speed Press (Crown Publishing). The new cookbook traverses the “not traditional but personal” Sichuan flavors of Fly By Jing’s cult favorite spicy and savory chili crisp through 85 hot recipes for everything from dumplings to cocktails to desserts.

Rooted in tradition but adapted for the modern kitchen, the recipes invite readers to explore the nuances of Sichuan flavors and experiment with new ingredients. With gorgeous photography and punchy writing, Jing shows you how to incorporate these flavors in just about everything, including: snacks like Zhong Dumplings and Deviled Tea Eggs, mains like Hongshao Carnitas Tacos, Fish Fragrant Crispy Eggplant, and Spicy Scallion Oil Noodles, desserts and drinks like Chili Crisp Sundae with Fish Sauce Caramel Brittle, Poached Pear in Sichuan Pepper Syrup, and Baijiu Negroni and much more.

Jing shows how nearly every dish can be elevated with Sichuan’s complex flavors, taking readers on a unique journey from her hometown to your own kitchen stove, all while sharing her personal story and reflections on this storied cuisine and the challenges she's encountered along the way. 

Chef, restaurateur and host of Bizarre Foods, Andrew Zimmern, says: “A coming-of-age story, a superb collection of recipes and food tales, and for me a very personal testament to the power of persistent entrepreneurial action. This book will change your life.”
