About this Item

342pp. Tear on top left front corner of DJ with some chipping. Signed byÂJim Lee (author) andÂIsabella Lee (illustrator). Jim Lee's Chinese Cook Book stands as one of the earliest English-language works to introduce Chinese cuisine to a broad American readership, bridging the distance between traditional culinary practices and what could realistically be prepared in a mid-century home kitchen. It captures a moment when Chinese recipes were being reshaped to fit the tastes and ingredients of the United States, a process that would ultimately give rise to the distinctly Chinese-American style of cooking familiar today. Extremely rare signed by both Jim andÂIsabella Lee. In case 4. .
