The culinary delights in this cookbook created by Grace W. Kwok are a tribute to the travels, opportunities, and memories of regional dishes and good country fare in China. Grace's husband, T. W. Kwok, was diplomat, a Cantonese, and a gourmet -- a formidable combination. Grace writes, "Life with him has meant tutelage in the exacting ways in which food must be planned, prepared, and seasoned." She offers hundreds of recipes that offer time-saving recipes and delicacies, lessons in preparation and technique, and several menus for guests.
