Comic artist, home cook, and Panda Cub Diner founder Linda Yi introduces readers to Sichuan cuisine through comics in Let’s Make Sichuan!: A Comic Book Cookbook. Yi—who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and brings neurodivergent cooking strategies to all her recipes—translates the complexity of Sichuanese cuisine through accessible, visual recipes designed for real home kitchens and readers of all ages. Each dish unfolds in illustrated panels that guide readers through the technique and timing of delicious recipes, from foundational sauces and the ever-popular chili oil to well-known favorites such as Dan Dan Noodles and Mapo Tofu.

Alongside the recipes, Yi weaves in history and cultural context, covering naming origins, ceremonial food practices, the lore behind Sichuan peppercorns, and more. Readers will learn how to stock a pantry, plan a sensational dinner spread, and host a hot pot party with personalized dipping sauces. The book is organized by core categories—from sauces and pickles to noodles, meats, and broths. The perfect, giftable cookbook for families looking to introduce Sichuan cuisine into their regular cooking rotations, Let’s Make Sichuan! is a must-have for home cooks.
