Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook

Sprinkled throughout with playful images of Mao--a Hunan native--paraphernalia, these mouth-watering home-style dishes are heavily populated with chiles, richly flavored sauces, and toothsome vegetables and meats. Recipes include Stir-Fried Smokey Bacon with Smoked Bean Curd, Slow-Braised Beef with Potatoes, Fragrant-and-Hot Tiger Prawns, Fried Cucumber with Purple Perilla, and Spare Rib and Lotus Root Soup. Accompanied by a glossary of Chinese characters, a bibliography, and glistening, close-up photographs of meals in full-color. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
