Title: Needed information
Product review: This cookbook is not just a list of recipes but an interesting biographical journey into the interior. Grace Young writes well about her family providing a personal context for the recipes that she provides.I found the information very good indeed. It is rare to find in one location certain details about buying produce and items from an asian grocery store.The section on what the sauces, vegetables and other items that you can find at the grocers is nice indeed. Usually you would have had to buy a book dedicated to this, but Young provides a good section to get you through.This is my favorite Chinese cookbook so far this year. I find material for personal reflection and also, a source for Chinese food information (almond soup being good for the skin).I agree that Young could have been more lavish with technique and photos but she did very well otherwise. Also, the indexing could have been more detailed, but these are small quibles.Good stuff.
