Description: Vintage original book on Chinese Cooking was aimed at American cooks learning a new cuisine in 1936. The recipes, ingredients and techniques were modified for American kitchens. The book also contains articles on topics related to Chinese cooking and a diagram on how to hold and use chopsticks. This particular copy was put into a special hand made wood binder with metal hinges and a hand painted ( what would now be considered a racial stereotyped ) image of a Chinese chef carrying a pot of food. Perhaps this was sold in a gift shop at the time? The paperback cook book is bound in the wood binder with leather strips. The protected book is in like new condition with no fading, no wear. Pages are clean and unmarked, no edge wear or general wear, no owner name, no notation, no stains, no folds. The wood binder has some minor scuffs and light scratches from storage. 47 pages. 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches (binder). Ships with USPS media mail.
