Chinese Cook Book (International Cookbook Ser.)

Rating:
Summary: Old Chinese Recipes
Review: I used to frequent Carl's Pagoda Restaurant in Chinatown in Boston. This was the best of all the restaurants in Chinatown. Carl Seetoo was a master chef and took great pride in the freshness of his ingredients and the personal presentation of his unique culinary delights. His clientelle was wealthy and extremely sophisticated. No Pu Pu Platters at this place. No menus either. I always would bring Carl a wine opener or captain's knife as a little gift when I dined there with my wife (in the 1980's). One evening I brought in my well-used copy of Wallace Yee Hong's "Chinese Cook Book". Carl and his wife spent 2 hours copying recipes like mad from this little book. I could not believe how amazed and thrilled they were about finding long-lost recipes and techniques contained in this old book.
