Cooking Chinese food at home can seem daunting, but thanks to the meticulous instruction of Kian Lam Kho’s new tome Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees: Essential Techniques of Authentic Chinese Cooking, stir-fry standbys and wok-wonders become part of a home cook’s everyday repertoire. Featuring step-by-step images that walk readers through recipes like Spicy Lotus Root Salad and General Tso’s Chicken, Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees will have you trading your takeout menu for a night at the stove.
Tickets to events held at the James Beard House cover the cost of food and a unique dining experience.
