This is a book that I truly enjoyed reading. The book begins by explaining the evolution of Chinese cooking in America. Ms. Imatome-Yun writes, "Chinese food in America is the product of immigration, local tastes, and American ingredients, which have influenced the evolution of the cuisine since the Gold Rush days of the 1850s." Throughout the book, there are snippets of "Origin Stories" that explain how a particular Chinese dish came to be (for example, fortune cookies are a purely an American tradition - they aren't made, served, or eaten in China).One section of the book that was invaluable to me was, "Wok Basics." You see, I bought this book because I bought a cast iron wok right here on . Well, every time I tried to cook with it, I kept undercooking or, worse, overcooking things because I could not regulate the temperature well. Now Ms. Imatome-Yun does say, "If that's all you have, don't fret. You can still follow the recipes in this book..." She finishes by saying, "When you get a chance, invest in a lighter, easy-to-use carbon steel wok." That's exactly what I did (except I bought one from a thrift store for nine bucks... and it was the best nine bucks I've ever spent.). Having a carbon steel wok has made all the difference in the world when preparing the dishes in this book. It's also good for deep frying, but that a whole different book...The section of the book called, "Kitchen Basics" helped me to understand which sauces I needed to effectively cook the dishes in the book. Some are non-negotiable, while others you can safely substitute. Having this information allowed me to prepare a list of things to buy from my local Asian market.
