You're still reading rfc on Usenet. It's never been anywhere else. Say
Hi! to anyone you remember.

> was hoping for everyday chinese dishes

I'm *real weak* on Oriental cooking.

What interface is that -- some clumsy, unneeded web interface? Instead of
a real news client for doing news?

You're welcome.

Remember, he's comparing it to the old POS AOL client, so he's never
used a real newsreader.

Well, Kylie Kwong does fancier and more fusion stuff than everyday
dishes, and she has at least one book out of her own.

Grace Young's "The Breath of A Wok" has a wide selection of recipes as
well as terrific discussions of the wok and of regional cuisines. As
one of the cover blurbs says, it's a memoir and travelogue in addition
to being a cookbook.

Ken Hom's "The Chinese Kitchen" is very thorough, covers ingredients
and techniques as well as recipes. His "Easy Recipes from a Family
Kitchen" -- or something similar to that, I don't have it handy -- is
both a memoir of American chinatowns and a good collection of everyday
dishes, more Cantonese than anything else.

Fuchsia Dunlop has a new book out on Hunan food. Her previous one was
on Sichuan food. Both very well done.

There are thousands more. I'm sure there are reviews on the web of
these. -aem


At any rate, I don't think you can go wrong with anything by Grace
Young, Fuschia Dunlop or Ken Hom. There are many, many others of
course but if you look at those authors you should find something
suitable. If you like books that are more than just recipe
collections, Young's "The Breath of A Wok" has a good bit of history
of the wok and of Chinese regional cooking and of Chinese American
cooking. Ken Hom has one that is almost a memoir of American
Chinatown's -- I forget the title but it'll be apparent if you look at
a list of his books.
