Finally a Chinese cookbook with a goal of healthy receipes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Fat-free Chinese Cooking: Over 130 Low-fat and Fat-free Traditional Chinese Recipes - From Egg Rolls to Almond Cookies (Mass Market Paperback)
For years I had been looking for a good Chinese cookbook because I like Chinese food and know that it is a very healthy way to eat if prepared correctly. Evey book I found seemed to offer tasty looking but heavy, heavy solutions. I found this inexpensive excellent book to be just what I was looking for. I have found the dishes to be very tasty, and the sauces more than sufficiently zippy. I appreciated the unique way that many meat dishes use the meat as a complement to other ingredients instead of just piling it on. This achieves a healthy tradeoff in protein and fat. There is lots of background information on preparation, finding and choosing ingredients, and many other interesting sidlights. The pictures are gorgeous and a big help in choosing and putting toghther the dishes. To me the strength of the book is that once you get the hang of the way to cook Chinese dishes using little or no fat, you can modify and extend any receipe you come across in the future using the principles used in this book and know you are eating food prepared in a manner that is healthy. For me, I have found the receipes in the book to be pretty much everything I need for now. I think this is an excellent buy.

Easy to prepare, great tasting, authentic Chinese dishes!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Fat-free Chinese Cooking: Over 130 Low-fat and Fat-free Traditional Chinese Recipes - From Egg Rolls to Almond Cookies (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up this book a few months ago in Boulder, CO. I've been looking for a "traditional" rather than "trendy" cooking light "ethnic" foods book. All those "foofy" recipes out there stray far from their original origins. The recipes that I have tried (my favorite is the cold eggplant in garlic sauce) are quick & easy & taste great! My only suggestion is that there should be more color photos of the dishes would be nice to see within the book - but that's just my personal preference.Lots of recipes to choose from.

A Great and Healthy Way to Cook!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Fat-free Chinese Cooking: Over 130 Low-fat and Fat-free Traditional Chinese Recipes - From Egg Rolls to Almond Cookies (Mass Market Paperback)
As a single guy that wants to stay in shape and does not have the time or patience to make a career in the kitchen, this book is a great find. What is fresh tastes best and the recipes in this book promise dishes that are fun to prepare, healthy and come out tasting remarkably good. For those who believe healthy and nutritious is the way to go and enjoy Asian cuisine, this cookbook will find a prominent place in your kitchen.
