Product Description
Chinese Cookery is Ken Hom's timeless collection of over 150 recipes. These classic dishes have been passed down from generation to generation and follow the Chinese rules of balance to ensure a harmony of colour, texture, aroma and flavour.
Recipes include old favourites such as Cashew Chicken, and Sichuan Prawns in Chilli Sauce as well as new recipes from the kitchens of Hong Kong and Taiwan such as Steamed Salmon with Black Beans and Mango Chicken. Although Ken emphasises the need for authentic ingredients and good cooking technique, these are everyday recipes - simply written and easy-to-follow, and they are all infused with Ken Hom's infectious enthusiasm for the cuisine plus helpful tips for the home cook.
Packed with indispensable information on ingredients, equipment and preparation techniques, Chinese Cookery is beautiful, authentic and clear, and remains one of the most popular and inspirational Chinese cookbooks ever published.
Ken Hom is the world's greatest authority on Oriental cuisine and Chinese Cookery has sold over 1 million copies since it was first published.

Ken Hom's style comes through in this book more strongly than any other I have seen since. His enthusiasm for his "native" cuisine is obvious and his childhood reminiscences literally add flavour. In my kitchen at least it is easy to spot the cookery books worthy of a second glance, they are the ones that are battered, dog eared and clearly well used. Ken Homs Chinese Cookery is such a book, I have even resorted to purchasing a new copy in case of disaster. The only thing missing from this book is a good recipe for Crispy "seaweed" which I believe is made from Spring greens and I have yet to manage to make a good bed of soft noodles with crispy edges for Char Sui (fond memories of Le Ho Fook in the 80's). Maybe one day. Despite this an excellent staple for any kitchen whether Chinese becomes your main cuisine, as it did for me or you just need a book for those occasional ideas.
We have already tried several of the recipes from it. Read more
