Warms The Heart

“Johnny Tan's book is hopeful and inspirational. Besides an interesting look at his life, it is a roadmap for living your life with character and purpose. I am a mom and found the book was easy to relate to and his humor I liked in the book also, beside the messages that you go to your heart. I loved this book ! After reading it, I am picking it up reading pages I dog-eared to come back to. The recipes at the back of the book , especially the pound cake one, had me going out to the store that same day to get the ingredients.....This is a good book to send to loved ones!”

A Treasure!

“Johnny Tan's lessons from "his mama's kitchen" touched me deeply. In this exquisite little book, Johnny shares his "food for the soul" and "recipes for living," born of experience But that's not all. Throughout, he shares his heartfelt love and respect for the women who have most affected his life--his "mama" who adopted him at birth in Malaysia, loved him unconditionally, raised him wisely, and encouraged him to live out his dreams in the United States--and the eight "mamas" who befriended him and shared their recipes and their wisdom all along his journey to the successful, happy man he is today. Great recipes! Beautiful hearts. Beautiful book. I love it.”

So Much More than a Recipe Book

“When I downloaded this book to my kindle, I placed it in my cookbook collection. Then when I got time to begin reading, I became aware that it is so much more than a recipe book. I probably will never cook the recipes, but I shall keep it handy to read and re-read for the wonderful helpful rules of living that I found here. Anyone who stumbles in this life, can learn from this wise man. He has been a great inspiration to me, and I moved his book from Cookbooks to Inspirational Stories which is by far more appropriate.”

Practical and Perfect for All Moms

“I originally bought this book for my daughter for her 30th birthday, and then bought a copy for myself as well. As a mother and daughter myself, I appreciated the common thread of lessons taught and learned in the kitchen, while mom's are lovingly preparing meals and children are hungrily listening and learning. It's clear to me that the author was speaking both to the mothers and the children, in his presentation and appreciation of his many mothers while growing up. This book makes a lovely read and gift for yourself and the mothers and children in your family and circle of friends.”

Needs a Sequel!

“This is a great book with a lot of interesting and thought-provoking ideas. Best of all, it is positive and uplifting. The analogy of life to cooking and enjoying good food is an original and fascinating idea. A sequel is needed and it could go in so many different directions. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is about discovering happiness, meaning, satisfaction and opportunities for personal growth in our lives.”

— T. Gorski

A Delicious Serving of Appreciation

“From My Mama’s Kitchen is a sincere and heartfelt tribute to mothers, to women, and to the transformative power of love. It leads readers on a journey of the author’s life experiences, and ultimately on a journey of their own. Mr. Tan shares family history and life lessons, prompting us to reminisce about our own favorite memories in the kitchen with loved ones and friends, inhaling delicious aromas and being nourished with wisdom and support. Written as a gift of love for his own family, the author exceeds his goal as each new reader unwraps their own personal package of appreciation for the blessings they've received from the “moms” in their life.”
