A stunning vintage 1981 reprint of the highly acclaimed 1978 "Hong Kong & China Gas Chinese Cookbook". This comprehensive, oversized hardcover goes far beyond a typical corporate cookbook, offering a deep dive into Chinese culinary arts. Edited by David W. Perkins with consultants T.C. Lai and Jane Ram.
It features over 200 tested recipes from top chefs, detailed prep techniques, and a fascinating look at authentic Chinese ingredients. Highlighted by evocative color photography of 1970s/80s Hong Kong neon streetscapes, historical art, and beautifully styled dishes. Essential for collectors of Asian cuisine, vintage cookbooks, or Hong Kong history.
Item condition: Good to Very Good vintage condition. The hardcover and binding are solid and intact. The original dust jacket is present but shows typical age-related wear, including surface rubbing, light scratching, and minor edge wear/creasing. Interior pages are crisp, clean, and free of major stains, tears, or markings, with only slight age-toning on the edges typical of a book from this era.
