NEW YORK (PIX11) — Legendary actress and Asian American icon Ming-Na Wen joins us to discuss her deeply personal new book, “Have You Eaten Yet? Family Recipes from a Restaurant Daughter.”

Part cookbook and part memoir, the book explores Wen’s childhood working in her family’s Chinese restaurant, the recipes and traditions passed down through generations, and her journey from “restaurant daughter” to Hollywood star.

Wen shares how food became a way to preserve her Chinese American heritage, celebrate family, and express love, with recipes ranging from egg rolls and wonton soup to her own creations.
