The Best of Taiwanese Cuisine: Recipes and Menus for Holidays and Special Occasions

Summary: recipes are NOT accurate and missing key ingredients
Review: This book was written by a woman who lived in Taiwan because her husband was transferred there for work. She is not knowledgeable enough to be writing a cookbook on Taiwanese cuisine. If you are Taiwanese or are familiar with Taiwanese cuisine, you will realize this right away when you look at her recipes. The recipes are MISSING KEY INGREDIENTS that make the dish taste the way it should. For example, the oyster omelet recipe does not have sweet potato starch in it. This is a key ingredient which makes the Taiwanese oyster omelet taste the way it does.

In addition, there are NO pictures and written from a point of view which would make me suspect that the author got the recipes from the internet or quickly jotted down the recipes instead of actually cooking/testing the recipes and trying them out.
