About this episode
“I used to keep it so separate,” chef Melissa King explains, “Cantonese cooking at home, and then the sort of French, Italian cooking that I was doing in my career in all these Michelin kitchens.” But being on Top Chef showed her she could bring it all together—and her new cookbook, Cook Like a King, is full of Melissa’s signature recipes. In this episode of The Dinner Plan, Melissa shares dinner party tips and easy weeknight favorites. Get her lettuce wrap recipe and her Roasted Japanese Sweet Potato With Olives, Walnuts, and Miso-Tahini (plus a chance to win a copy of the book!) on TheDinnerPlan.Substack.com.
