(Chinese) Charles & Violet Schafer. Wokcraft.

Illus. by Win Ng. 6.25x6.25", pictorial brick-colored wrappers. First Edition. San Francisco: Yerba Buena Press, 1972.

First published in 1972 in San Francisco, Wokcraft became an instant classic; my mother certainly had a copy. The book focuses on wok cooking, but also includes numerous recipes and advice for dim sum, steaming, tea ceremonies, soups, and pastries. Ingredients and terms are discussed at length. Sunning to spine, else very good; a scarce first edition.
