The Round Eye Homestyle Chinese Cookbook

By Mark Gargus

This book is for those that want to learn the basics of authentic Chinese gastronomy and cooking. I really like spicy food. As such, these recipes are mostly from the Szechwan and Hunan regions. If when you think Chinese, you think Moo Goo Gai Pan, Chop Suey and Lemon Chicken, please allow me change your mind.There are many Chinese cookbooks on the market, but they tend to fall into three categories. "Old School" with so many odd ingredients (shark's fin, bird's nest - actually saliva), need for substitutions and hard to understand proportions of ingredients. Then there are the totally too nouvelle. Finally are the encyclopedias that are so overwhelming that the purchaser never feels confident to try any of the recipes.We have been lucky enough to have old homestyle Chinese recipes that we have worked with and perfected over many years. We have cooked for many of our Asian friends who have been more than impressed with our homecooking.
