5.0 out of 5 stars Best Chinese cook book I have yet found - excellent 23 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is the first cook book where my finished dishes actually looked like the photographs. The information given is precise and well photographed, everything from how to cut the vegetables and meat correctly to cooking techniques and menu suggestions. If you have never cooked a successful Chinese meal before, this book is the answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Chinese Food 9 Feb 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a tremendous book - I have trying to cook "authentic" Chinese food for the last few years (after living in China) and this was the best book I have seen. Clear instructions, good selection of dishes and dishes that taste really good. Try the spring rolls, "fish fragranced" pork (really!) - you won't regret it....

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic! 17 Dec 2002
By random bint
Format:Paperback
For years I have relied on Ken Hom, and now I finally have a worthy addition to my small and intimate selection of cookery books. This is non-pretentious, non-bloody-fusion food set out in clear, easily followed recipes with lots of pretty pictures. The best section is the themed bit at the back, especially if you are already fairly confident with the techniques and tastes of Chinese cookery, but the whole thing is great.
