The Joy Luck Club Eggplant In Garlic Sauce

The Joy Luck Club is a wonderful book and movie about  the bond between mothers and daughters. Travelling back and forth between China  and America, the story takes us through an emotional roller coaster with sacrifice, heartbreak, love,joy, sadness, memories, misunderstanding, the culture gap and through it all acceptance that the mother daughter bond is something to be cherished.

The members of the Joy Luck Club love calling their friends and family over for meals and the aunties also love bragging about their cooking. This eggplant recipe is one of the staples on their table.
