Product Description
Book Description
The definitive guide to the nation's favourite cuisine.
Product Description
Ken Hom is widely regarded as the world's leading authority on Oriental cuisine, and with the Complete Chinese Cookbook has created a seminal collection of his best-loved dishes. With Cantonese stir-fries and spicy Sichuan favourites alongside new discoveries from the lesser-known culinary styles of Yunnan and Hong Kong, this comprehensive collection is filled with accessible and easy-to-follow recipes, demonstrating the amazing depth of flavour that is only now being fully appreciated in modern Chinese cuisine.
Set to become a kitchen classic, this all-encompassing work guides you through the essential techniques, equipment and ingredients, all with Ken's trusted blend of experience and enthusiasm. Featuring 250 recipes covering all aspects of Chinese food, Ken offers tips and inspiration for a wealth of dishes that use simple, healthy ingredients to create quick and delicious meals.
Over the past 25 years Ken has brought Chinese cookery into mainstream British homes, and in this beautifully photographed new package - published in time for Chinese New Year - he brings together all of his expertise to offer the ultimate guide to the flavours of China.

I bought this after seeing Ken Hom on tv. I managed to get all the ingredients for the recipes I wanted to try first although had to go to China town in London for some of them. Of the three dishes I cooked, they were all delicious and so healthy too. My mum is from Hong Kong so she was my guinea pig and she loved it! No more takeaways for us!

I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes, but always thought chinese would not taste like i expected (take aways) well i was gob smacked by the delicious results. It was a bit complex first off but once youv'e cooked one or two of the recipes you can see a pattern of more or less the same basic ingredients. They are so tasty,and healthy that you would never buy from a take away again. recipes are easy to follow, and most ingredients you can purchase from your local supermarket. have tried quite a few of the recipes now and all are delicious. An excellent buy !!!

I like the recipes in this book, and finding a copy of Ken's book from 1982 or so actually inspired me to try cooking Chinese food. Funnily enough, when I compared the suggested menus in each, I noticed they were more or less identical.
Further investigation revealed a lot of similar content - no big drama, but how about photos of every dish so I think I'm getting something new? There are a lot of pictures but too many of them are photos of ingredients, knives, Ken and the like. I know what kitchen equipment looks like, show me the food!
Overall, a good book for fledgling Chinophile chefs and experienced ones too - lots of advice on tools, prep and ingredients, and some great grub as well.

Chinese Cookbook
Great book with some nice recipes, although it cost a fair bit to get all the ingredients together but I guess now I have them I can just replace when they run out.
