• how to make and use special seasonings and sauces

• how to cut properly, plan your menu, and even grow your own bean sprouts
Hailed as a classic and included in Craig Claiborne's Recommended Cookbook Library, this is indeed the definitive guide to one of the world's great and versarile cuisines.
Gloria Bley Miller is a professional writer with a varied background in education and the fine arts. Unable to find a complete basic Chinese cookbook, she began to pursue the knowledge of Chinese cooking on her own, haunting Chinese grocery stores, eating in all kinds of Chinese restaurants both here and abroad, comparing notes with Chinese friends, and, most important, constantly cooking and experi-menring in her own kitchen. This cookbook is the result. Vissza
