ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, some of these Taiwanese/HK cookbooks have good recipes, let us know how that one goes :) (there's this nice Taiwanese claypot chicken dish btw called 三杯鸡 - so-called because it uses 'one cup' each of soy sauce, sesame oil and rice wine, and garnished with sprigs of basil. it's really yummy, in case you haven't tried it, here's a video link http://v.ku6.com/show/FvzS0z0LT9P3d73D.html )
The Lamp Berger looks really interesting - like a perfume bottle.
Beautiful!

Also, I love that the cookbook shows that couples can enjoy cooking together!
