Traditional Chinese recipes and techniques (1/1 people found this helpful)

Of all cuisines, Chinese is the most difficult to master. It has evolved over a 4,000 year period incorporating influences from the vast and various regions of China, involving myriads of ingredients and the world's most varied range of techniques often simple, sometimes complex.

Ken Hom's Illustrated Chinese Cookery book is a comprehensive collection of dishes from most regional schools such as Cantonese, Fukien, Szechuan and Beijing. In addition he describes ingredients, equipment and techniques used to ensure that your cooking is traditional and authentic.

Essential to every cookbook is the ability to easily recreate the dish as the author intended. For the many dishes I tried most worked out deliciously. It's a great addition to any serious cook's kitchen collection.

this book was very helpful and intriguing for Chinese foods (1/4 people found this helpful)

Ken Hom is one of the world's greatest masterchefs and clearly has a lot of experience in handling Chinese goods. The food is most agreeable with my bowel, especially the black bean sauce dishes. Nice one Ken!
