disc that are lighter versions!! We are having such fun trying all the new,
improved recipes we love.
Thanks again for making our lives easier, and healthier!!
"The best guide to Chinese cooking for those with little or no experience."
Mark Bittman, The New York Times
The recipes on the Cook'n in China CD come from the largest, most comprehensive Chinese cookbook ever published for the Western world with over 350,000 copies sold! Tastemaker Award winner Gloria Bley Miller distills centuries of Chinese recipes and techniques into concise and easy-to-follow directions that will enable any cook to produce dishes that please the eye, delight the palate, and suit the budget.
With verve and wit, Miller tells you how to prepare everything from egg drop soup and drunken pork to sizzling rice and delicate wontons. There are 150 recipes for chicken alone, plus dozens of variations on pork dishes, vegetables, and noodles, as well as other Chinese favorites. Using Miller's recipes, ordinary meat and seafood become delicacies, while vegetables retain their color and texture. And Miller's delicious recipes are splendidly high in nutrients and low in calories.
The Cook'n in China CD contains everything the cook needs to know about Chinese cooking, including how to:
Use special Chinese cooking techniques such as steaming and stir-frying
Create unique seasonings and sauces
Substitute hard-to-find ingredients with those available in any supermarket
Plan menus suited to every time constraint, budget, and occasion
This CD will help you master one of the world's greatest and most versatile cuisines.
Gloria Bley Miller is a professional writer with a varied background in education and the fine arts. Unable to find a complete basic Chinese cookbook, she began to pursue the knowledge of Chinese cooking on her own, hunting Chinese grocery stores, eating in all kinds of Chinese restaurants both at home and abroad, comparing notes with Chinese friends, and, most important, constantly cooking and experimenting in her own kitchen. This cookbook is the result. Miller lives in New York with her husband, a sculptor.
