"My Dad gave me this book (bought at a garage sale or some such place). While the version I have is older and has no photographs, only some illustrations, it is a wealth of good chinese recipes."
"I've only had this book a year, and it's already covered in sauce stains and grease. Wonderfully comprehensive and simple to follow, it's a great source to learn the basics of Chinese cooking. Thousand Recipe is a foundational text that has earned a place next to Joy of Cooking on my shelf."
