That book is way more useful for techniques than the recipes in it. I wouldn't dream of trying their mapo tofu!

Pretty much everything from the technique to the details were pretty far off the mark. It was pretty cringeworthy to watch.

I meant the techniques portion of the book, not techniques for the Mapo Tofu.
