Chef Chu's Distinctive Cuisine of China [B0629]

1983 HCDJ in nice clean condition. From the front flap: "Chef Lawrence C. C. Chu, with 20 years of restaurant experience, tells you how to prepare authentic Chinese dishes that rival those served in his enormously popular San Francisco Peninsula restaurant. Includes: Classic recipes from the four gastronomical regions-Peking, Shanghai, Canton, and Szechuan; Family-style recipes served in Chinese homes; Essential cooking and cutting techniques, clearly explained, easy to master; Tips on make-ahead dishes and how to pull off a banquet at home; Restaurant secrets on how to give professional, dramatic touches to your presentation; Vegetarian and Diet-coded dishes; How-to shop for Chinese products, what to look for when seeking out the freshest ingredients; How-to visualize a dish before you begin cooking; and What to do with leftovers-those tasty morsels you take home in little boxes from Chinese restaurants."

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Should be a collector's item. A treasure to own. Great recipes to cook but would rather go to Chef Chu's restaurant."; "Living just a mile or so from Chef Chu's, I love that I now have the secret to the Kung Pao Chicken and Chinese Chicken Salad. This cookbook is a great survey of their most popular dishes, plus so much more."
