 Traditions revisited March 15, 2000
I have just received this book from Amazon and am enjoying it. It is such a pity that old recipes are lost in time and never recorded. One oftens hears someone say that they wish that they had a certain family recipe.I think that the author has done an excellent job. In time when we go back to good old fashion healthy cooking instead of fast foods these books will be there for us. The author must be congratulated!

Grace Young's cookbook bought back memories when I was a little girl growing up at home. My mother's cooking was the best, but I couldn't duplicate it precisely. Now I can with the help of your book. Especially the egg custard my mom use to make. It was a simple dish but yet delicious and one of my favorites.Your book is wonderful and simple to follow cookbook for Cantonese cooking. I enjoyed reading the history and the childhood stories you had relating to your parent's cooking. Now that my parents are elderly all the receipes will be lost if I don't write them down. Grace Young will save me the work because her book is precisely the one that I can use as a reference and guide to help me cook the way my mother cooked. Simply delicious and wonderful.

I bought this cookbook about 6 months ago. When I finished reading the book, I immediately sent an e-mail to the author thanking her for her work in this book. I also watched the CBS Sunday Morning Special about this cookbook. I ,too,was a Chinese immigrant and learning cooking from watching my dad and mom without any measurement of the "stuff" you put in a dish. Often as I cook, I do not measure the ingredients. Many of my American friends want the reciepes of the dishes I cook and too often I am too lazy to write them down. Now, I have Ms. Young to thank you for writing this cookbok. Many of the fine reciepes in this cookbook I shared with my Amercian friends. They too have read and said they enjoy the history and the philosophy of the Chinese cooking. I would recommended this book for anybody who is learning about Chinese cooking. This cookbook by far are on my number one list of the chinese cookbook of this decade. Oh, by other way(Ms. Young), the most frequent reciepes that I shared with American friends is "Tomato Beef." Your brother was right! (You should not omit this receipe.)
