Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine: The
Fabulous Flavors and Innovative
Recipes of North Americas Finest
Chinese Cook by Susanna Foo
Fusion Plus Tradition
While Susanna Foo claims to be North Americas Finest Chinese Cook on
the cover of her cookbook, The Zagat Restaurant Guide gives this claim
some support by consistently listing Susanna Foos as one of the best
restaurants in Philadelphia. Foo is known for both the fine quality of her
cooking and for her eclectic approach; recipes in her book, Susanna Foo
Chinese Cuisine, demonstrate why this is so--imagine Pineapple Salsa,
to be served with dim sum, and Grilled Tuna with Jalapeño Pepper
Puree. Even traditional recipes such as black bean sauce are presented
according to Foos taste. Information about techniques and ingredients
can be exceptionally interesting, and Foos personal reminiscences, which
are scattered through the book, add to the pleasure of reading.

Personal Review: Susanna Foo Chinese Cuisine: The Fabulous
Flavors and Innovative Recipes of North Americas Finest
Chinese Cook by Susanna Foo
I bought this book to fill in a gap in my cookbook collection--I had none
about Chinese cooking. It was a pleasant surprise to find that many of
Susanna Foo's recipes have become standby's at home, for everyday
cooking and for special dinners. As others have written, the recipes fuse
chinese and french cooking techniques. Although there are occasionally
difficult-to-find ingredients, more often than not the author provides
substitutes. Favorites are the soy-braised cornish hens (so easy and so
flavorful) and the tea-smoked cornish hens. There are plenty of seafood
dishes, most served with delectable sauces that could be easily
transplanted to poultry or pork dishes.The writing style is engaging, with
reminiscences of dishes the author ate or prepared as a childhood. I love
this book !
