Lucky Dragon Supper Club: Asian-inspired Dinner Party Ideas for Home Cooks (Stephanie Feher, Murdoch)
If you’ve spent any time online in recent years, chances are you’ve seen one of Stephanie Feher’s viral dinner party videos. In Lucky Dragon Supper Club: Asian-inspired Dinner Party Ideas for Home Cooks, Feher brings her signature warmth to a stunning collection of recipes. In a time of loneliness and disconnect, the focus on creating memorable moments for friends and family makes this cookbook feel like a breath of fresh air. Rooted in Feher’s Chinese-Hungarian heritage and her love of Asian cuisines, the dishes are approachable for beginners yet will still appeal to seasoned home cooks. Readers will discover classics such as laksa and buko pandan (a Filipino dessert), alongside Asian twists on Western favourites, such as gochujang orecchiette (Feher’s spin on vodka pasta) and lychee and cherry glazed Christmas ham. Sweet-toothed readers should not skip the “Something Sweet” section, home to your next obsession – miso brown butter cookies. Lucky Dragon Supper Club is a visual feast, with full-page photography and colourful design reflecting Feher’s social media style. The recipes are organised like a typical dinner party: small bites and plates to start, followed by large sharing plates, salads and sides, before ending with dessert. There’s also a “Foundation” chapter filled with condiments and dips. This lively take on the supper club theme invites readers to cook beyond their comfort zone while connecting with and celebrating the diverse cultures and flavours that shape Australian cuisine.
