Beschreibung

Orange cloth with black lettering. Hint of bump to head and heel of spine. Previous owner vintage bookplate neatly adhered to front pastedown and another to the half title. Signed "Cordially, Johnny Kan" on the front endpaper. Text is clean and bright, no marks. Illustrated with whimsical line drawings. Introduction by James Beard. Wonderful cover art by Jake Lee. Dealing only with Cantonese cooking, three-quarters of the recipes are easy to prepare, requiring only a few ingredients available in any Chinatown, or, more frequently now, available in supermarkets. The sauces, herbs, condiments and the cooking methods, when used knowingly, are what make Chinese food distinctive. The remaining quarter of the recipes are for ceremonial or banquet type dishes and therefore require more preparation and unusual ingredients. These are fascinating to read, an integral part of the cuisine, and tempting to try." (from the jacket). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers B70820
