5.0 out of 5 stars martin yans china, October 14, 2008
Martin Yan's ideas on preparation of sauces in advance are wonderful, easy, and delicious. His advise on stocking your pantry is essential in preparing his recipes. My family and I have tried several recipes in this book and we find them easy and delicious.
