Noodle
Soma Books is releasing a stand-out weekend cookbook--"Noodle" by Terry Durack. In the opening lines of the introduction, Durack confesses his passion for this humble food, erasing any tendency toward silliness: "To witness the birth of a noodle is a glorious thing. I have listened, spellbound, as an 85-year-old noodle chef in Beijing told me why the act of making noodles helped him make sense of the world." Serious cooks brave enough to proceed will be well rewarded. What follows is a strikingly produced and practically organized tour of Asia throgh the curvaceous path of the noodle. --ForeWord magazine, August 1999--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
