A Taste of China : The Definitive Guide to Regional Cooking

Paperback Reissue! In this seminal cookbook by one of the foremost authorities on Chinese cooking, the genuine food of the Chinese people is offered up with passion and authority. Ken Hom has visited a China few tourists have ever seen. His journey began at his ancestral village in Canton, but he traveled all over the country, eating in private homes and in restaurants rarely accessible to foreigners. He has collected recipes found in few other Western cookbooks, dishes that are the real food of China, adapted to be easily made in American kitchens. Hom also includes charming, sometimes moving, accounts of his travels. Highly recommended. --Library Journal (for the previous edition)
