"Chinese cooking for Americans with ingredients obtained in your neighborhood stores." A mid-century Chinese-American cookbook from New York's famed restaurateur. Born in Canton, Sou Chan moved to America at age 19, where he started out as a dishwasher. By 1938 he had used all his savings to start the House of Chan at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 52nd Street, which became a hugely popular destination.
Sunning to jacket spine, else very good & bright.
