Pacific Flavors, Oriental Recipes for a Contemporary Kitchen
Carpenter, a talented California chef, creates unusual dishes using ingredients and techniques that are a blend of the Oriental and the European: Spicy Swordfish Salad, Roast Chicken with Chinese Herbs, Rabbit Chinois. They are original, ingenious even, rather than merely trendy (though the recipes are almost overwhelmed by the lavish format and new-wave photographs); easy to prepare; and inviting. Costly, but buy this if you can. JSCopyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
