There's an introductory section as well that discusses the principles of Chinese cooking, and gives several sample recipes for each cooking technique. She also includes extra steps that really improve already excellent dishes, such as "velveting" chicken before stir-frying it. Now -- can anyone recommend a good Mexican cookbook? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
