MARY SIA'S CHINESE COOKBOOK

How nice to read another student's rerview. The author was a very fine teaccher, but by 1960 the class syayed at the Y with no field trips. We learned from an expert cook and my family enjoyed home-cooked Chinese food because of her fine technique. It IS a GOOD cookbook.

My Teacher, Mary Li Sia

Mrs. Sia was my chinese cooking teacher at the Honolulu Y. in 1958. She was a wonderful teacher and we all adored and respected her. Interestingly, Mrs. James Michener( I think her name was Mariko) was studying with us. Our teacher would take us on field trips to noodle factories, grocery stores and a big restaurant Wo Fat's. I have used this book almost exclusively and want to purchase copies for my daughters and daughters-in-law.I highly recommend this book as easy to read and follow with delicious results.
