 Some one once said that without a good cook and good cooking life was not worth living.

The author's purpose is to make good cooking possible.

All these recipes have been tested and are therefore reliable.

A person who has tasted Chinese food realizes that it is the most palatable and delicious cooking he ever ate. It is not only that but its nutritious value recommends it to all. It is true in a sense that we eat to live. If the body does not have nutritious and pleasant food no full growth and development is possible; hence power is weakened.

Leave the decision as to Chinese cooking to your own taste. When you have eaten the food you will soon be convinced not only of its merits but, in fact, of its superiority over other kinds of food and ways of cooking.
