Tang and Furton in our Main Floor studios after a full day of recording The Nom Wah Cookbook.
We had the pleasure of hosting the amazing Wilson Tang, owner and operator of the historic Nom Wah Tea Parlor in NYC, to record an audiobook of the upcoming centennial celebration that is The Nom Wah Cookbook. After a hundred years of operation, the storied dim sum parlor has more than enough content to stuff into this book, including recipes, gossip from both kitchen and dining sides of the restaurant, and family legends. Tang was a pleasure to have in the studio, and worked closely alongside Dubway engineer Violette Furton and the top-notch production staff at Harper Collins, to immortalize the history, lore, and–most importantly–the food of Chinatown’s oldest continuously running restaurant.
The book is set for an October release in both physical and audible forms, through Harper Collins and all affiliated distributors. For food lovers out there who can afford to do so, remember to help your local restaurants stay alive during this pandemic! Manhattanites and Philadelphians can support the restaurant (and their stomachs) here or through in-person pickup.
