Hello I know this is coming late, but I want to add a book that I purchased about a year ago and I find the book to be very in depth in the way it shows you everything such as cooking techniques great recipes and certain material to get you started this is a great book to me. It is called "Mastering The Art of Chinese Cooking by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo" this link shows the book, but my book has a different cover, but it still the same bookhttp://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Chinese-Cook...
