"There are many aspects of China upon which Westerners disagree, but as to the excellence of Chinese food there is unanimity of opinion. However, its food, with its subtle blendings and unusual flavors, is a mystery to the average Westerner. Mrs. Richard H.P. Sia has here compiled a book of recipes the perusal of which will enhance the newcomer's enjoyment of Chinese food by enabling him to eat intelligently; and what is more important, the book will prove invaluable to residents of China who wish to prepare good Chinese food in their homes here, or for themselves and their curious friends when on home leave. Mrs. Sia is particularly well qualified to produce such a book as a host of friends who have enjoyed these dishes as prepared in her own hospitable home can testify. Mrs. Sia adds scientific knowledge to her practical skill, for she is a graduate in home economics from the University of Hawaii, and has taken a summer course in home economics in Cornell University." Includes recipes, technique, instruction, list of restaurants and menus. Seller Inventory # 000142
