The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen: Classic Family Recipes for Celebration and Healing

First to recommend

Description

This recipes in this cookbook aren't the recipes you'd find in your usual Mongolian-Beef-Kung-Pao-Chicken-Egg-Rolls Chinese cookbook. Instead, what you'll find are traditional recipes usually cooked in Chinese homes: rice porridge, steamed pork with salted duck egg, even herbal soups. Grace Young also tells a story in each chapter about why the recipes are such an important part of her family's life--stories that I can definitely relate to as a Chinese-American.

Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook

5 people recommended this item

Description

I don't think there's ever been a cookbook with cussing. Ever. Bourdain tells it like it is and that, to me, is effin' hot.
