Kylie Kwong was born into a fourth-generation Australian-Chinese family, in Sydney. She learnt the fundamentals of Cantonese cooking at her mother's side, and then went on to hone her skills with several of Australia's most respected chefs. After working at some of Sydney's finest restaurants - Rockpool, Wockpool and Restaurant Manfredi - Kylie realised her dream of pouring her heart and soul into her own restaurant, billy kwong, in Sydney's Surry Hills. Kylie’s television series, Kylie Kwong: Simply Magic, screens exclusively on The LifeStyle Channel and LifeStyle FOOD. In this eight-part series, Kylie travels to the heart of the country that has inspired all her cooking, to two of the world’s most exciting cities, Hong Kong and Shanghai. There she finds the origins of the recipes her grandmother taught her and finds inspiration for new dishes. Back home in her beautiful Sydney kitchen, Kylie shares her wonderful new cooking ideas with us; showing us how we can simply cook authentic Chinese recipes at home, using ingredients available at any local supermarket. The accompanying cookbook, Simple Chinese Cooking, was published in March 2006 Her first television series Kylie Kwong: Heart and Soul premiered in October 2003 and has since been sold worldwide, as has the accompanying book. Her first book, Kylie Kwong: Recipes and Stories, introduced her family and the food that binds them together. For Kylie, food is both a way of life in the present and a link with the past and her family heritage - especially for her extraordinary great-grandfather Kwong Sue Duk, who was lured to Australia from his ancestral village in China by the promise of gold. As she says ‘…by sharing the experiences of my family, I hope to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture, particularly within Australia, and to express my pride in my Chinese heritage.’

just want your professional opinion on something, in creating Asian Fusion food, do cooks sacrifice authentic flavours and skills to cater for the modern Australian customer?
Kylie I have to ask how can you in all honesty promote China. There vegetables are sprayed with pesticides that have been banned in the western world for years. I find this very misleading and I am sure you don't eat it. It's a disgrace. I won't touch anything made in China.
really love and appreciate so much chinese cuisine..specially those stirfry moves!! The Best!!
I have to tell that i allaways that i watch her show i learn something new.... Congrat..! you are the Best.
i like toloock at your recipes
I have a wonderful version of Asian/fusion Coleslaw - almost the same as Kylie's but I use red cabbage and red onion, white cabbage and white salad onion, a hint of fresh red chilli and finely sliced (along the length) snow peas and the rest of the ingrediaents are the same as KW's. Beautiful colours and textures, my Asian homestay students love this
very interested in getting hold of kylie's noodle recipes- both fried and soup.
