The first authentic Szechwan cookbook, each of the recipes has been tested in an American kitchen and made from ingredients locally available. The aim is to preserve the ''zhen wer'' of each dish. All of the dishes are easy to prepare once the novice has learned a few basic techniques. For each recipe, the authors have pointed out what makes that particular dish distinctive and what problems may be encountered in producing it. The book is sprinkled with Chiang Jung-feng's childhood memories of glorious meals in her mother's fragrant kitchen which evoke the spirit as well as the taste of Szechwan home cooking. 278 Pgs.
