As as an aside, any suggestions for a good Szechuan cookbook would also be appreciated!
Fuchchia Dunlop's "Land of Plenty" (UK title - Sichuan Cookery) is the standard go to, but is about to be republished as "The Food of Sichuan, an updated edition ... ... fully illustrated and with lots of new recipes and information" acccording to a message she sent me last week.
