[Sca-cooks] OOP: Chinese Cook Book

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

So, i've got six Chinese cookbooks. Bought 'em back in the late 60s 
and throughout the 70s. All are by Chinese authors. Among them are 
"encyclopedia", Dim Sum, vegetarian, regional survey, Szechuan. Time 
to update the library.

I will eat almost anything and enjoy trying stuff i've never eaten before.
I like as authentic as i can find, but also enjoy "fusion" foods 
(hey, i live in California).
I tend to prefer highly spiced food, but also appreciate subtlety.
Depending on my mood i go from extremely lazy (eat tuna out of the 
can - eat cottage cheese out of the tub) to elaborate preparation.

Any recommendations?
