Product Description
Chinese food is popular the world over. In Ken Hom's Simple Chinese Cookery (formerly called Foolproof Chinese Cookery), available in paperback as well as hardback, Ken proves that anyone can cook this healthy and delicious cuisine.
Ken demonstrates 40 of the most popular and well-known dishes with step-by-step instructions and photographs to accompany every stage from start to finish. The recipes (including soups and starters, fish and shellfish, meat and poultry and vegetable accompaniments) are not only quick and easy to prepare but are also convenient as they use readily available ingredients. A special menu section also features in the book so that you can plan your perfect meal.
From simple Green Chicken Curry to the more elaborate Whole Fish in Coconut Milk, Ken's foolproof instructions will guarantee even the novice cook excellent results every time.

Excellent cooking book..good layout with detailed pictures and descriptions. Steps are simple to read and follow as well. One of the best I have seen at the bookshops, which made me buy it.

Format:Paperback
An excellent and very clearly laid out book of easy and delicious Chinese and Chinese-style recipes. Well illustrated, good clear instructions, all step by step, and very easy to find exactly what you are looking for. If you ever thought cooking Chinese food was complicated or time consuming, think again. So much quicker than Western cooking, though you will need to raid the oriental supermarket first. Quite a lot of overlap with Ken Hom's "100 Quick Stir-fry Recipes" which I got at the same time... but firstly there's enough non-overlap to make both worth having, and secondly if you're cooking more than one dish for your meal I find it quite handy to use both even if the same recipe can be found in just one book. Try the steamed fish - it's SO good!

Am I the only one to lament the rise of cookery books that are designed first to please the eye? Certainly, a picture can say more than a thousand words but I'll take the thousand... Read more
