East and West culinary treats with distinctive Polynesian flourishes and highly innovative twists that could have been conceived only in the creative cuisinary mind of Chef Choy. Surprisingly simple, celebrity chef Sam Choy’s recipes guide you through each step to guarantee success. You’ll learn how to roast a duck Chinese-style in half the time and effort of the traditional recipe, without losing any of the glorious flavor.
