Publishers Text

Teoswa is the local pronunciation of Chaoshan, the region in China's eastern Guangdong Province comprising the cities of Teochew (Chaozhou), Swatow (Shantou), and Gigyong (Jieyang). It's the ancestral homeland of about 25 million gaginang — that's Teoswa for “our people.” It's estimated that half of all Teoswa live outside of China.

“Jia” is how you say “eat” in Teoswa — and based on my extremely scientific observations, it's every gaginang's favorite word. Jia! is a cookbook with recipes from China, Southeast Asia, the US, and even Paris.
