The House of Chan Cookbook, 1952

Sou Chan was a Chinese immigrant who made it big in the Big Apple where, for forty years on the corner of 7th Avenue and 52nd Street, he ran his hugely popular restaurant, House of Chan.

In my new book I also use ingredients for my Chinese dishes "which may be obtained at any neighborhood grocery," as it says on Mr. Chan's dust jacket. Following are some of my favorites of Chef Chan's recipes. And click here for more on my new cookbook!
