At the stove stand two smiling-faced nuns, clad in voluminous white aprons over flowing black robes. Their own obyi- ous enjoyment in their task, as they stir and taste and answer questions, enhances the gay atmosphere, and from the stove exotic odors waft across the room, These two delightful and courageous American women came to Japan from a war-ravaged China with little else than their skill in Chinese cooking. To earn their living they started to teach, and as their celestial cuisine won fame in the city of Tokyo they could not keep up with the demand, For the benefit’ of those who were unable to attend their classes, they have written THE ART OF CHINESE COOKING, which describes the tempting variety of Chinese cooking in concise, easy- fo-follow style. Here are their secrets, Use them—and good eating! CHARLES E, TUTTLE COMPANY : PUBLISHERS Rutland, Vermont Tokyo, Japan
