The Everything Chinese Cookbook at $3.99 on Kindle for Beginning Cooks by Ruth Paget
The Everything Chinese Cookbook selling for $3.99 on Kindle is a stellar resource for cooks who are just beginning to try cooking Chinese food for health and money savings.
This Kindle e-book is 712 pages long and contains 300 recipes drawing from all food groups. My favorite recipes for health and money saving come from the chicken, vegetable, and rice and noodle sections.
I have cooked from several Chinese cookbooks notably those by Fuchsia Dunlop and Ken Hom, but I like The Everything Chinese Cookbook for several reasons:
-it promotes lower-calorie stir-fries that omit the addition of slurry finishes at the end of cooking. Slurry is a corn starch and water mixture that thickens sauces and adds a glossy sheen to a dish.
-greatly reduced use of sugar in cooking
-greatly reduced usage of sweet Chinese cooking wine which adds flavors and calories
-a huge variety of recipes to make use of seasonal produce at the market
The Everything Chinese Cookbook by Rhoda Lauret Parkinson is a great resource for people wanting to make their first forays into Chinese cooking.
The Kindle price of $3.99 today for 300 recipes in a 712-page book is also great for budget minded Kindle users.
Note: There is an organic market in Marina, California on Sundays that sells many Asian produce items. Marina has several Chinese restaurants and markets as well close to the farmers’ market.
Happy Cooking!
