Lines: 18 I would like to invest in a few Chinese cookbooks and I would like some recommendations. I've already decided on one- I'm not sure of the title but it's written by Chef Chu (those of you living near Los Altos are probably familiar with his restaurant at the corner of San Antonio and El Camino Real). I was very surprised to see it turn up in a bookstore in NJ and I am presently saving my pennies so I can buy it. Any Chinese cookbooks that the cooking experts out there would like to recommend is fair game. When you recommend a book please tell me the some of the best recipes to look for and what kind of Chinese food it specializes in, if any. While we're at it, if you'd like to recommend any simply wonderful cookbooks, I'll listen. My mother has over 200 cookbooks but she won't part with any and I have to start my own collection.
