Superb value, variety, range, and great eating. This is the ultimate collection of one of the nation's favourite cuisines.

From the Back Cover
All you'll ever need for mouth-watering Chinese cuisine.

You've never seen such a magnificent spread. Here is a brilliant selection of recipes from the best Chinese restaurants, recipes that have tempted so many people to cook Chinese food for themselves.

Covering the whole span of Chinese dishes, you'll find a thousand well-chosen recipes. They will lead you through the popular sweet and sour specialities, the mouth-watering garlic and ginger, the crispy duck and the delicious marinades and dips that make Chinese food so irresistible.

Naturally, of course, this encyclopedic volume can also introduce you to all manner of lesser-known regional cuisines, many vegetarian dishes and useful snack ideas that need minimum preparation.

From dishes suitable for everyday cooking to sumptuous banquet options, you'll find everything you need here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 9 Nov 2007
By zztopbanana (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This recipe book is a superb addition to anyone's culinary library - clearly not every recipe will suit every person but it is inconceivable that you would not find a significant number of useful recipes in here and even if you found just one nugget, then considering the price, it would be well worth it.

The variety of recipes in any of the 1000 series is simply staggering and there are quite a few vegetarian recipes here too - to say you are stuck for choice is an understatement.

Ok, so there are no photographs but against that, the books don't cost a fortune either and they are compact.

You really cannot go wrong with any of these recipe books and when you consider they cost little more than 1 issue of pretty much any food magazine, well, they truly are an absolute bargain.

Buy this one, buy them all - you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, and simple oriental cooking, 8 Jun 2005
By Mrs. A. J. Shingler (Stoke, Staffs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent recipe book for the beginner (such as me) who's just bought a wok and wants to get started.

Although there are 1000 recipes here, many of them make clear just how simple Chinese cookery is because with just a handful of ingredients bought at the Chinese (or any) supermarket, you can create loads of dishes you thought were only available at the take-away.

While you probably won't ever be able to re-create a gourmet Chinese restaurant meal, you CAN create dozens of meals (including lots of vegetarian meals) and tastes that you previously thought were just TOO difficult.

Buy that rice wine, star anise, dark soy and get going - if you love Chinese food you SHOULD learn how to make it and this recipe book shows that it's simple!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 23 Feb 2009
By Harassed Mum (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
Bought two copies - one for each of my sons. Recipes basic and easy to follow. Successful meals prepared by 15 yr old, who has minimal kitchen skills. May be a bit on the repetitive side, but for anyone not being experienced in the kitchen it will inspire confidence. An overall good standard book to have on the shelf. Does not require hard to get "exotic" ingredients or complicated preparations. Will be enjoyed for years to come.
