5.0 out of 5 stars A definite buy if you want a REAL Chinese cook book., 7 Oct 2000
By A Customer
A definite buy if you want a REAL Chinese cook book. I should know because I am Chinese and I have come across alot of so called Chinese cook books which are not the real stuff - e.g. short cut ways /steps in the preparations, substitution of certain ingredients to name 2 examples. There is a section where she gave her recipes for making various sauces rather than rely on commercial bottled ones . This is a good reference which even experienced Chinese cooks would find helpful. One of my hobbies is reading cook books and I find this an excellent Chinese cook book. Chinese cooking is more than just adding soya sauce and stir frying. Her vast experiences alone is enough to convince anyone interested in Chinese cooking to invest in this book - a real keepsake,

4.0 out of 5 stars Tour de force!, 22 Feb 2006
Excellent book on chinese food by an equally excellent writer/cook. Eileen Yin Fei-Lo injects much needed passion and enthuasiasm for her subject in every page, with lots of wonderful anecdotal stories from her childhood. The recipes are workable and accurate, and should keep the most ardent purist happy. As expected, the book slants heavily towards the Cantonese way of cooking but is still informative about regional cooking. One criticism would be the relatively sparse number of photos used, something the book would benefit from. But then, the book would be almost perfect! Highly recommended.
