Customer Reviews

I basically learned to cook from this book...

This book was my introduction not only to Chinese cooking but to cooking in general. These recipes are very simple (as the title says) and for me they created a good foundation for my own variations. There is a sort of glossary of ingredients and methodologies in the back that I found both interesting and useful. These are flexible recipes for delicious dishes you can cook on a regular basis-- I cooked for myself using this book nearly every day in college. At the time I lived very close to NYC Chinatown... and the dishes here seem have an authentic spirit. This book certainly a does a much better job than cookbooks that tend to flaunt "exotic Asian cuisine". Overall, I think this is a great cookbook.
