Delicious (1/1 people found this helpful)
My husband is a great cook and I wanted to get him a chinese cookbook. You are never too sure with some cookbooks because of the very little detail, however I took my chances. He has only used it a few times but each the food is delicious. It has a lot of pictures when it comes ingrediants required and how to prepare them. As well as chinese cooking, it also has recipes from other regions - cantonese, shanghai..... I feel it is a good choice and would reccomend it to others
Authentic Chinese cookery (2/2 people found this helpful)
Of the many Chinese cookbooks I've flipped through or owned, this one is by far the most authentic, easy-to-follow, and yields great flavoursome results. There are dishes in here that my mom would serve at dinnertime, and Yan Kit-so cooks like she is from the motherland. I have gone on to collect the rest of her books, as I think she's not only a great chef in understanding how to deliver a solid recipe, but also she possesses a clear understanding of Chinese cuisine and its flavours. Top choice!
Still inspires after 18 years (4/5 people found this helpful)
We bought the hardback version of this book in 1988 and we still use it regularly today. We have tried lots of the recipes and find them easy to follow with good results. Recipes are laid out clearly, and the sections with a glossary, information on ingredients and illustrated techniques are particularly useful. I've rated it 4 because there are a couple Chinese cookbooks I prefer, but it is still worth owning.
Real Chinese Food (9/9 people found this helpful)
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....
fantastic! (9/9 people found this helpful)
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.
