5.0 out of 5 stars A cookery book you will actually use rather than just put on a shelf!, 9 Jan 2007
By K. Hill (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book.

So far I have cooked steamed cod with ginger and spring onions, chicken with cashew nuts, stir fried pork with lime and honey and bok choy with oyster sauce.

Not only are the dishes very simple to prepare but they taste exactly as if you had ordered in an expensive chinese restaurant. I have never been able to recreate that authentic taste before now.

And the best bit is that with a short shopping list of essentials - oyster sauce, sherry, nut oil, garlic ginger and spring onions you will be able to make a whole host of incredibly varied dishes.

I heartily recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best chinese cookery book I have ever come across, 23 Feb 2007
By Cookery Addict (London, England) - See all my reviews
I don't ever write reviews about the books I buy - it is just not something I can ever be bothered to do. However, I feel so excited about this book that I felt I had to write something. I buy so many books and sometimes one comes along where you look at the photos and read the receipe and you get that rush where you can't wait to get in the kitchen. This is one of those books.

I got this book one week ago when my 16 year old stepson came for the weekend - he read it and on Sunday made the most incredible feast - corn soup, prawn toast, honey chicken, egg fried rice, chinese leaf in oyster and deep fried green beans with chilli. I can honestly say that I have spent a lot of money on food that doesn't compare (or smell as good) in restaurants. My stepson has now begged me to buy him his own copy and I cannot wait to try more this weekend.

4.0 out of 5 stars a book to cook from!, 17 Oct 2007
By An ordinary mum (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simple Chinese Cooking (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful book with so many recipes I felt I wanted to cook. So far, deep fried tofu with black bean and chili sauce was absolutely yummy, and the honey soy chicken was really tasty too. There is a little bit of repetition - pork in black bean, chicken in black bean, beef in black bean, fish in black bean - but so many other great recipes you don't feel hard done by. Individual tastes, too, not just stir-fried whatever. A great, accessible introduction to chinese cookery.
