Au Pied de Cochon: The Album
Martin Picard
Douglas & McIntyre, 2008

Fuchsia Dunlop
W. W. Norton, 2007
This Is The Credited Response
I am originally from Hunan and loved its food when I was there. The recipes here are (brace for cliche) AUTHENTIC, insofar as reading these pages brings me to these very dishes experientially.
