Format:Hardcover
I've used this book extensively over the past year. I've come to try quite a large number of the very tasty dishes it presents. What I like best about the book is the fact that you after a while get so used to using it that you can start to modify and extend it to build entirely new dishes that still taste absolutely right just by picking parts of one and mix with the other. I've been looking for this kind of book for very long and Bingo! This is THE Asian cook-book for me!

Only second best to Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison's "Wok fast," you'll find yourself thumbing this book very often for easy and fast wok dishes. It's also a good primer for those who have no inkling of what is what in Asian ingredients for there is a complete glossary to guide you along. Very good.

Ten years ago I got serious about cookery. I regularly cook French, Spanish, Italian, Irish/British, North African, Indian and Oriental cuisine. I have cooked dinner for over 40 people, although I am not a professional cook.
This book is my favourite cookbook of all time. Why? Einstein once said "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler". This book captures this essence perfectly.
The book looks really basic: short recipe lists, short instructions - everything fits on to one-two pages.
Herein lies its strength, when you are cooking a dish for the first time you don't want to be turning pages back and forth nor have to refer to different sections of the book. With this book: you pick your dish, you turn to the right page and you need never touch the book again until the dish is cooked.
Despite this, once cooked, each dish is packed with flavour and tastes authentic (even if the recipe is an abridged version of an original). Unlike some cookbooks these recipes actually work!
Sometimes it's harder to be concise and to say things simply rather than waffle on (which I am afraid this review is doing). Don't let the simple lay out of the book fool you: it really is brilliant. If only all other cook book were as carefully crafted as this one.

Very disappointed
Bought this book based on reputation and am very disappointed with the five recipes I have tried so far - maybe I'm just not a Chinese cook!!
