Library Journal
Yan, a popular and off-beat television personality, is the author of several other Chinese cookbooks; this one accompanies a new PBS series of theme shows. The 100 recipes are uncomplicated and use easily available ingredients; Yan is Cantonese but has been influenced by American and European chefs; Jambalaya and Chinese Cioppino turn up among more traditional dishes. Buy for demand. Yin-Fei Lo's authoritative book is both more sophisticated and more ambitious than Yan's. Real Cantonese cooking is characterized by lightness and freshnessnot by the cornstarch-y sauces of most American Cantonese restaurants. The author includes both authentic classics and her own interpretations of Cantonese cuisine, with precise instructions for each recipe, wine and menu suggestions, and a guide to the Cantonese kitchen. Delicious food from an accomplished cook; highly recommended. JSBook Details
