If anyone in Montreal knows what belongs in a home cook's kitchen, it's Jonathan Cheung. The chef and owner of Appetite for Books—the city's go-to cookbook shop and one of its best cooking schools—has spent over fifteen years cooking professionally, from classical French kitchens in Vancouver to his family's restaurants in Hong Kong.
