Customer Reviews

I've worn the first copy out!

The recipes in this book are simple and very tasty. My wife and I have tried nearly every recipe and have not been disappointed.

Great introduction

This is a great book for people who love Chinese food but don't want to pay for takeout, and I bought it when I was just out of college (and met both criteria). The recipes are easy to follow and tasty; my own copy is so spattered with peanut oil that I need a new one. Two really big crowd pleasers have been the "spicy meat sauce for noodles" with ground pork (you can use turkey and no one knows the difference) and the chicken with basil.

Fanatastic

This is a small colection of recipies but some of the best chinese cooking I have ever had. The kiwi chicken is now a staple in my household.
