Joy of Chinese Cooking Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Here is a fascinating and practical cook book for everyone who has ever wondered how to make a truly Chinese meal. Because Chinese cooking is so different from any with which we are familiar and because there are so few Chinese cook books available to Americans, this unique cook book begins with an extensive introduction to the techniques of Chinese cooking, including: 

• Descriptions and illustrations of the ingredients and utensils used in Chinese cooking
• Planning a Chinese meal
• How to serve a Chinese meal
• Equivalent weights and measures

There follow recipes for every kind of Chinese dish imaginable from soups, egg, meat, poultry, fish and vegetable dishes to desserts and dishes for festival days. Not only has Doreen Yen Hung Feng brought to her book authentic knowledge of Chinese cookery but she has made it charming as well as practical with her graphic drawings and the stories she tells about many of the recipes and the occasions for their use. This is indeed a cook book that will fascinate everyone who loves to cook and who has enjoyed the delectable dishes in a Chinese meal.
