Our family has used this book for Chinese cooking extensively since 1965. This is the most useful book on the market because it includes descriptions of all of the basic methods of Chinese cookery as well as complete information on buying and storing special ethnic ingredients. The recipes are simple to use and each method may be mastered in turn. If I had to choose one Chinese cookbook this would be it. In 1965, before everyone was cooking Chinese food, I went to a hardware store in New York's Chinatown to buy my basic equipment. I was carrying this book. The Chinese proprietor stopped me to say that he had just bought this book for his Americanized daughter so that she should not forget her heritage. He thought the book was that good. I do too.

This is the essential guide for anyone who wants to learn Chinese cuisine. I cannot think of any other book that is nearly as complete as this text is. Ms. Miller takes you through steaming rice to making Peking Duck. I'm buying this book for a friend, I've had my copy for years. My copy too (see review following) is spattered with soy sauce, and the margins are filled with notes. Her instructions have aided me in cooking Thai, Japanese, and Korean dishes, to name a few; since most of East Asia is within the Chinese sphere of influence. I've been a vegetarian since 1986, and though this cookbook uses meat, I rely on it as my guide. Now that I live in Taiwan, my friends are amazed at what a foreigner can cook! This book should not be missed by anyone, vegetarian or omnivore, who has an interest in Chinese and East Asian meals. Thanks Gloria! It's glorious!

I only recieved my book today and I am already inthrilled, with just a quick look through i have already gotten so many ideas. I wanted a cook book that told me how to make simple chinese dishes, and this book does just that, while also giving having more advance recipies for the more confident chef. This book is really good and explains things in simple steps, it explains how to use ingredients, and how to cook the chinese way.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in oriental cookery.
