Thanks everyone for the recommendations... i have added several to my wishlist
BreezyCooking said:I probably have at least a dozen Chinese cookbooks, but I have two that I use CONSTANTLY & have never steered me wrong. Every recipe I've tried from these 2 treasures has been delicious. I don't think either of these are currently in print, but you can probably find them at one of the great on-line used & out-of-print booksites (Alibris, Abe, Amazon, etc.).
Madame Chu's Chinese Cooking School, by Grace Zia Chu, published in 1975 by Simon and Schuster.
The Key to Chinese Cooking, by Irene Kuo, published in 1977 by Wings Books, a division of Random House. (This one was particularly recommended as "the most literate, clear, and comprehensive of all the Chinese cookbooks on the market" by James Beard.)
Both of these are definitely worth searching out & using regularly. My copies are positively dogeared now - lol!!
