From the Author:

Notes On Pacific Flavors
This was our first cookbook and was the result of four years of recipe testing and writing by me and a year of photography by my wife. As part of the recipe development process, after I tested the recipes and tried them in my cooking classis, all the recipes were then tested and evaluated by 60 home cooks. This exhaustive process resulted in a book whose recipes work and whose recipes when cooked at home have found an appreciative audience nationwide. I described this book as "an Asian cookbook with American accents." This cookbook is in its 8th printing
