We are now in our second and third generation in the United States and cannot help but note with mixed feelings the changes which have taken place in our culture. We know that many of the beautiful customs and ways handed down to us are gradually disappearing. I find it a delightful paradox, therefore, that this Chinese cookbook written by a Westerner for other Westerners might in its own special way help keep alive a culinary heritage from the Orient.""
