He has not only written a wonderful cookbook, but his vignettes of faraway places, his anecdotes about recipes and people, make fascinating reading. He takes you with him to the stifling heat of wartime Chungking; to the charm of Peking before the war, its delightful Hotel du Nord, its old temples~ which sometimes doubled as country homes; to Yunnan Province with its clear blue skies, rugged mountains and the Lolo tribesmen: to Calcutta, to Delhi with its great mosques, and the bazaars and shops studded with chests of sapphires and rubies; to Paris; to Heidelberg; to Japan; and to the Pennsylvania Dutch country.
