Chinese Village Cookbook: A Practical Guide to Cantonese Country Cooking

Rhoda Fong Yee was born in Canton in Southern China. Her childhood was spent in Loan Gon Doan, her father's village. It was her experience during this part of her childhood that inspired Rhoda to write the "Chinese Village Cookbook" about everyday Cantonese village cuisine. This book translates Chinese cooking methods into American kitchen idioms without violating authenticity. It charts stir-frying, provides numerous recipes, photographically lists ingredients (so you know what to look for when you shop), and generally sums up a delicious subject matter with vitality, clarity, and wit. It also talks about day-to-day life in a Chinese village.
