The Easy Way To Chinese Cooking
The Easy Way To Chinese Cooking – Traditional recipes and cooking techniques of China translated for the American Kitchen by Beverly Lee, published in 1963.
While this is a vintage cookbook, it wouldn’t have been a normal choice for my collection. Why? I generally chose cookbooks with a retro grooviness to them, and often with stomach churning recipes. Not so with this one! The cover is vaguely cool, and the few illustrations inside are well done and informational. And the recipes are actually very good!
My previous girly-friend owned this, and turned me on to it, especially the Sweet and Sour Pork Cubes recipe. Wow, it is super tasty! (You may notice it is rare that I’ll called a vintage recipe super tasty, but there are exceptions.)
So yeah, she owned a copy and I was kind enough to buy my own copy for my ever growing collection of cookbooks. That one recipe makes this cookbook a must-have in my house. I’m not even sure if I’ve made anything other than the Sweet & Sour Pork from this cookbook, but I have to assume the other recipes are just as good. Stay tuned for some tasty recipes!
