"I really wanted to like this book. On the plus side, it's an all color, beautiful book. On the negative side, I found the recipes were quite repetitious. There is one dish that is shown with seafood, then chicken, then pork, then beef. Why not simply say that the meal can be made with either seafood, pork, chicken, beef, etc?
The recipes are also not very interesting or tasteful. I felt that other cookbooks, such as Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian, had recipes that were simple and flavorful. I tried several different dishes in this book, but none of the results were worth repeating. The recipes are not *bad*, they just aren't very good. Too bad."
"i CRAVE these flavours.....and when i discovered this book for a novice like me, i simply had to try it. so far i've started with bok choy with oyster sauce and it was simply amazing - all the flavours i longed for now in my kitchen.. made me very happy. i will move onto poultry or tofu next. we'll see... my sister plans to prepare the sweet corn and chicken soup.
p. 196 bok choy with oyster sauce is one of my favourites. yes, it requires three different oils and oyster sauce but its wonderful. bok choy, chicken and jasmine rice, my go to comfort dinner."
"This big, beautiful, cookbook with lots of recipes really is simple--too simple, if you ask me. The flavor profiles of the recipes are all pretty much alike! Some non-Chinese cooks will find this a convenience, since it means they won't have to look for exotic ingredients, but adventurous cooks may find it disappointing.
I like the way the cookbook is divided into techniques and I was encouraged to move on from stir-frying and to try some of the steamed dishes I have enjoyed so much in restaurants but had never attempted at home. It turned out to be much easier than I expected.
Unfortunately, this cookbook does not offer nutritional information about the recipes.
I would be interested in reading other books by this author."
"The six or so recipes I made from this book tasted good. The salads are particularly interesting.
More importantly, the recipes actually are simple as promised and help you gain an understanding of cooking. Generally, there is a sauce or marinade, and then vegetables or meat to chop up. Anyone can handle it, yet the result is restaurant quality food (well, at least better than the local carryout places) that you couldn't produce by improvising.
The instructions are mostly very clear. The only problem I've had is where she tells you to heat oil in a wok until it starts to "shimmer slightly." I don't know what that means, but I've done all right by waiting for bubbles to start forming."
