Complete Chinese Cooking (Amy Tai)

Product Info

Per the cover notes, this book “takes you on a culinary voyage into the heart of a vibrant culture…. The essence of China is distilled in these colorful pages. Here you'll find over 100 beautifully illustrated recipes, which show you how to cook authentic, appetizing dishes in your own home, using these intriguing ingredients. With an enticing selection of fragrant soups, meat, fish and shellfish, rice, noodles, poultry and game, vegetable dishes, desserts, dim sum, pancakes and snacks, you'll be impatient to get cooking at once! In Complete Chinese Cooking you'll find special feature pages focusing on those key ingredients which give unique character to the cooking. They provide invaluable information about fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables, special sauces, spices and dim sum as well as advice on cook's utensils.” I like the introduction, where the author clarifies the four schools of Chinese cooking.  On offer is a 2000 US copyright edition with dust jacket. Both are in excellent condition. (Previously owned)
