...Pan-fried Sichuan chicken is a good example. Chicken breasts are sauteed in a regular skillet, then drenched in a delicious sauce composed of the usual Chinese suspects: oyster, bean and hoisin sauces, sherry instead of Chinese wine, ginger, garlic, chili sauce and Sichuan peppercorns. Another of the charms of this book is the notion of serving these Oriental-style dishes along with Western foods, in this case with steamed carrots in parsley butter...

They honor theater-music classics that no longer make the pop charts. From Wild West rarees to Victorian parlor skits, from Tin Pan Alley to '50s nostalgia, the shows reacquaint the public with styles of entertainment that Broadway once thrived on, and thus conceivably make it possible for such works to prosper anew...
