LORRAINE “The Chinese Lady” WITTE was born in Hawaii to Chinese immigrants and first became aware of her multicultural heritage through food. Her father showed her how to cook with his hands over hers, and the process of preparing food became part of her identity.

After a lifetime of eating and over fifty years of cooking instruction, consultation and owning a gourmet food line, Lorraine published A Pot of Rice to the Wonders of Wonton a memoir and cookbook showcasing both traditional and modern recipes for fabulous wontons of all kinds.

To The Chinese Lady, food is a form of meditation, as well as a way to share a great sense of satisfaction with others. As her father loved showing her how to cook, she now shares this ongoing passion with you.
