Reviews

Hom is the author of a number of Chinese and Asian cookbooks, including The Taste of China (LJ 2/15/90). His latest title includes more of his always good and reliable recipes, but it's the guide to ingredients that makes the book particularly special. This reference section, which is half the book, succeeds in demystifying the range of ingredients used in Chinese cooking, from exotics such as shark's fin and lotus root to the more mundane noodles and rice. Hom's descriptions could stand alone-each entry includes shipping tips, storage notes, and useful hints-but there are color photographs of every ingredient as well, making this an eminently user-friendly and practical reference. The more than 100 recipes, for both classic dishes and stylish innovations, seem almost a bonus. Highly recommended.
