Very easy read, 1930's China from the ground. Ms Chiang knows more that I will ever know about food. I was hoping to get a glimpse into her San Francisco restaurant days, but its all set in the East.
Chiang's family was a very food oriented one and they were exrtremely connected with a fleet of servants and cooks.
Quite enjoyable.

Cecilia makes life sound too heavenly in China, which, is far from reality. I find it hard to follow her thoughts throughout the book. As for her recipes, they lack details for people like me to try to follow.
