A love of food and a talent for cooking pulled each generation through the most devastating of upheavals. Helen Tse's grandmother Lily Kwok was forced to work as an amah after the violent murder of her father. Crossing the ocean from Hong Kong in the 1950s Lily honed her famous chicken curry recipe. Eventually she opened one of Manchester's earliest Chinese restaurants where her daughter Mabel worked from the tender age of nine. But gambling and the Triads were pervasive in the Chinese immigrant community and they tragically lost the restaurant. It was up to Helen and her sisters the third generation of these exceptional women to re-establish their grandmother's dream.
Sweet Mandarin shows how the most important inheritance is wisdom and how recipes - passed down the female line - can be the most valuable heirloom.
