Martin Yan's Invitation to Chinese Cooking
The latest book from prolific cookbook author and television chef Yan offers 140 recipes for everyday Chinese cooking, lavishly illustrated with vibrant color photographs, many of them full page. There are classics as well as more contemporary variations, such as Tangy Citrus Chicken, Yan's update of sweet-and-sour chicken, along with more unusual dishes like his Fish and Chips Chinese-Style. Headnotes provide background (and some of Yan's trademark puns), and there's a good illustrated glossary of ingredients. If you need yet another Chinese cookbook, this is a good choice; in any case, fans should guarantee demand.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
