Yes ... 

Recently, there were 2 messages, both with the subject, 
"Re: [Sca-cooks] Lemon Chicken [Was: pilgrims and travel foods]"; 
sent: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 10:16 and: Thu, 06 Jan 2005 14:51.  

In those messages, I quoted one recipe from my Chinese Cooking 
instructor's published cookbook, "Chinese Regional Cooking" .  

Do you want to see that recipe again?  

I recommend buying her cookbook.  

Here is the citation I provided ...

And concluded with ...

Although I didn't recheck the number of available copies before 
sending this message, I expect that about the same number will 
be available.  You could also check amazon.com or other 
booksellers.  

BTW, I also searched my SCA-Cooks eMail folder for messages 
containing both 'Chinese' and 'cookbook' in the message body 
-- my local search found 49 messages that met the search 
criteria out of the 34,736 messages from SCA-Cooks that have 
been sent between 5/21/1997 and 1/14/2005 [Note: what I have 
may not be a complete archive].
