Potsticker Chronicles: America’s Favorite Chinese Recipes

Potsticker Chronicles: America’s Favorite Chinese Recipes by Stuart Chang Berman is a warm Chinese cookbook and family memoir that blends classic restaurant favorites with personal stories and practical instruction. Published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, the book gathers more than 160 Chinese recipes alongside cultural drawings and family anecdotes, giving readers both a usable kitchen guide and a richer sense of Chinese food traditions. Berman, a longtime chef, restaurateur, and cooking instructor, covers foundations such as equipment, ingredients, techniques, and basic sauces before moving into soups, appetizers, seafood, chicken, meat, game, potstickers, spring rolls, noodles, rice, vegetables, tofu, and desserts. Approachable, story-filled, and rooted in the dishes many American home cooks first came to love through Chinese restaurants, Potsticker Chronicles is a strong pick for readers interested in Chinese cooking, family food history, and practical Asian home cooking.
