Customer Reviews

The book is 5 stars, but the quality claims as Good is not true. Oil spill a over the pages and red

The book is 5 stars, but the quality claims as Good is not true. Oil spill a over the pages and red sauces every where look like someone eating and dropping liquid on the whole book. Moldy smell and mold black marks on the paper wrap, I have to use acetone to remove the mold spots. I’m afraid of putting in the kitchen and contaminate my whole island.

Amazing book has stood the true test of time!

Joyce gave my mother a copy of this amazing book in 1963 when my parents were married. The recipes are wonderful and easy. I remember using the book with my mom as a child and now use it with my daughter. This is a must have for any cook who wants a taste of what we grew up on in Cambridge in the 60's and 70's- all of these recipes are still relevant today.

People-pleasing recipes, also very helpful for beginners

We have used the Joyce Chen Cook Book for 35-odd years and still rely on it regularly. It is full of tasty, authentic Chinese recipes, but they please the Western palate also. It contains classic, solid, proven recipes. You can skip the MSG.

Simple Chinese Cooking

These recipes are the favorites on every Chinese Restaurant menu. Written for the American cook who does not live near a Chinese grocery store. Warning - M S G is an ingredient in every recipe - just ignore it and recipes work fine.

Excellent for recipes, tools, and techniques.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks and my absolute favorite chinese cookbook. Every recipe is a hit with guests and family. Excellent guidelines for selecting equipment, selecting ingredients, and developing oriental cooking techniques. A must for anyone who wants to cook authentic chinese!

A Fabulously Delicious Cook Book

This cook book has been a family favorite since I was a small child. Even my asian friends prefer the egg rolls I make from this book to their time honored family recipes. Well worth the back order wait.
