I first bought this book in 1963. Couldn't buy many ingredients for Chinese food then - went to a Chinese restaurant for won-ton skins! SO, this might seem very simplistic compared to 2012 cookbooks but Chen was the J. Child of Chinese cooking THEN. Highly recommend Peking Hot & Sour soup, egg rolls are delicious.Easy instructions on how to grow bean sprouts (mung beans) because I couldn't buy even bean sprouts and now I grow them - according the Chen.
I collect vintage cookbooks. This is a great addition. The book arrived sooner than expecred.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book was first published in 1962 and remains the standard in Chinese cooking . Techniques , product cuts and preparations are made simple . This is the original and a recent book by her daughter enhances and updates many of these procedures and recipes .
