ABOUT LISA TSE, HELEN TSE AND JANET TSE

In 2004 Lisa, Helen and Janet Tse, founded Sweet Mandarin, and built it into one of the UK’s most recognised brands with an award winning restaurant and bestselling book, Sweet Mandarin (Random House). Giving up highly professional jobs, Helen a lawyer, Lisa a financier and Janet an engineer, they staked everything on a dream – and made Sweet Mandarin one of the main players in the restaurant business and literary world.

Being the third generation of women restaurateurs, their family story is a fascinating and inspirational tale of the ups and downs of following your dream. From the first conversation when the seed of the idea was planted, to getting financing, finding a name and opening the first store, it a personal story about three 20 something sisters who stopped ‘thinking about it’ and ‘did it’.

Their book, Sweet Mandarin written by Helen Tse has been shortlisted for the Portico Prize 2008 and the Barnes and Noble Prize 2009. It is also used in schools in the UK, USA, Caribbean and China for English and World literature. Not only is a moving story which touched the heart of Amy Tan (bestselling author of Joy Luck Club) and Oprah’s chef (Art Smith), but it also tackles some of the fears and answers some of the elusive questions about what it really takes to become an entrepreneur.
