I just ordered Kuo’s and Yan-Kit’s from Ebay for under $20 combined(including shipping).

I am glad you like that book, too. I also have Monisha Baradwaj’s book, too, and love it as well.

They are both awesome, and I am glad you have them both. They are some of the best resources out there.

I just got “The Chinese Kitchen” by Deh-Ta Hsiung, and realized to my great pleasure it is by the same publisher, and in the same format as one of my favorite cookbooks – “The Indian Spice Kitchen” by Monisha Bharadwaj. That one is sadly out of print (mosre sadly so since mine fell in the sink and is now all battle-scarred and water stained and pages warped from water). Both seem to be less cookbooks than GREAT reference books. Sensual photos, practical advice, clear descriptions of spices and how they are used.

I love it. Thanks again for steering me to it.

I am going to include them in another list of favorite Chinese cookbooks. I was going to do a general “my favorite Chinese cookbooks” post, but it just kept going, and going, so I decided to break it up into several categories.

Dunlop’s works will go into the “regional Chinese cookbooks” category.

Her Chinese recipes are fantastic and beat restaurant food anyday. I’ve heard good things about her new Hunan book too.
