A bit disappointing 16 May 2011
Format:Hardcover
In the past, the arrival of a new book by Ching always led to an immediate frenzy of wokking, because the recipes were new and exciting. This time however, Ching's Fast Food is something of a disappointment. At least 11 of the main recipes have featured in her three previous books, sometimes under different names, and roughly half of the duplicated recipes are to be found in her last book, Chinese Food in Minutes. So far, I have only tried two of the new recipes in Ching's Fast Food, and both resulted in rather bland dishes, in contrast to those featured in her earlier books which, with very few exceptions, were full of flavour.

The layout of the book is attractive, and the colour photographs of the prepared dishes certainly make one's mouth water. Unlike photos in many cookery books, these show what a not-particularly-talented amateur cook can reasonably hope to achieve. However, I found that the use of coloured text on some pages does not make for easy reading, unless your kitchen has lighting worthy of a film set.

The chatty style which Ching uses to introduce each recipe and elsewhere in the text, is invariably informative, and encourages one to read her books from cover to cover, rather than just to dip in when looking for a particular recipe.

For someone new to Chinese cooking, this book represents a good but not outstanding starting point. However, for those who already have her previous books, you might, like me, find it a bit disappointing in terms of new and flavourful recipes.

Familiar 8 May 2011
Format:Hardcover
Very similar to her other books with a few duplicated recipes (under different names), but still, enough new recipes in here to make it worth getting even if you have the others.
Cheap, easy to cook and above all delicious Chinese food. Yum.

I served up 5 of Chings recipes for my friends in 2 hours and they were very impressed. What I loved about them was the simplicity and ease of cooking. Once you have prepared everything it is really simple to follow and tasted very authentic. I travel to China with work several times a year and rarely go to a restaurant at home that tastes anything similar to what I have experienced when I travel but these receipes are as close as you get. I'll be investing in some of her other books.

Great tasty Recipes
I cooked a few dishes out of this book, just beautiful. The only down side is that you won't get most of the ingredients you need from tesco, asda and the like. Read more

This an excellent book, however, there is a lot of overlap with her other books. If I was to choose one book out of her series, this would be it.
