  7. Wonderful gift. I do love to cook and recently my sister (who does not like to cook) returned from a solo trip to China with a new desire to learn. She said the countryside and the people were amazing and she hadn't felt safer anywhere! This has peaked my interest too. This books looks lovely.

  9. congrats! six months down, and a lifetime of good food to go :)

    my roommate this past semester was from Chengdu, so now I can make passable sauce with dark soy sauce, plum vinegar and powdered sugar. but that's about all...this book would be so great!
