description -
Some of the most interesting foods in the world come from China. For this unusual cookbook, John Keys carefully selected and tested recipes, mostly Mandarin but some from other areas. These are the special delicacies created for the Imperial household and still used in present day China, but not often found in American Chinese restaurants. These will appeal to the gourmet who appreciates haute cuisine and the American cook will find that these exotic Oriental dishes are not complicated to prepare and cook.
