Removing claims that she did not write this book

Here and elsewhere, it is claimed that Buwei Yang Chao did not really write this book, but rather her husband, Yuen Ren Chao. The only support I can find for this claim is the Jason Epstein article, who says "it is obvious", because she didn't speak or write English. An academic article that is also cited in support of this claim (Hayford, Charles W. (2012). "Open Recipes Openly Arrived At: How to Cook and Eat in Chinese (1945): The Translation of Chinese Food". Journal of Oriental Studies. 45 (1 & 2): 67–87) only refers back to the Epstein article to support it. As the author explains, her daughter translated her Chinese and her husband revised her daughter's translation. Yuen Ren Chao himself discusses his wife's authorship and style in the 1977 interview also cited in the text. Given Epstein's only stated argument is that she didn't write English, which is irrelevant, and given Yuen Ren Chao himself states that his wife wrote her books in Chinese, I am removing this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faff296 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
