Description: This House of Chan Restaurant NYC Cookbook 1952 New York City Chinese Food is perfect for the avid collector and would also make a lovely gift! The House of Chan was a Chinese restaurant once located at the prime corner of 52nd Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. Sou Chan, the owner and chef, began his career as a dishwasher after arriving in the United States in 1928. Ten years later, he used his life’s savings to open a restaurant—one that became wildly popular and remained open for decades.This 1952 cookbook, like the restaurant, served to make accessible to the American palate and kitchen the Cantonese food of Chan’s childhood. You will find egg rolls—including a dough recipe modified for ingredient availability; soft shell crabs steamed in a garlicky, pork and soy sauce broth; beef and tomato lo mein; several variations on chop suey; and, for dessert, perhaps preserved quinces with raisins and blanched almonds or a peanut, puffed rice, and sesame seed brittle.
