Hey Rick, glad you like the site and thanks for the encouragement. I do enjoying cooking Chinese. I will make sure I get some recipe from my grandfather next time I visit China.

Thanks for commenting.

Hello--I "stumbled" into Urban Bachelor site; greatly enjoy your attitude and skill in making the dishes you are cooking, as well as your v. pleasant personality. As a fan of Chinese cuisine (not necessarily just Szechuan, which seems to dominate these days) I appreciate seeing how you make the dishes, in addition to written recipes. If at all possible, please show more of the Chinese cuisine--esp. the way your grandmother used to make them! There is way too much Asian "fusion"mediocrity is going on today. I look forward to seeing more of you at the chopping board. Rick Beck
