Mister Jiu's in Chinatown : recipes and stories from the birthplace of Chinese American food

Native Californian and master chef Brandon Jew returned to his Chinese-American roots in San Francisco’s Chinatown, which is the oldest in the United States. In doing so he struck gold by remembering the cooking of his grandmother, Ying Ying, who “cooked by memory, taste and feel. Nothing was written down.” In this book the recipes are his spin on grandmother's, and there are rich full-page color photos, and wonderful stories.
