Excellent starter book,

This review is from: Authentic Chinese Cuisine: For the contemporary kitchen (Paperback)
I ordered this book about a month ago and love it. The recipes are easy to make, the directions are easy to follow and everything so far has turned out fantastic. My husband's favourite is the Spicy Sichuan Eggplant, says it quite like what his mom use to make. I would definately recommend this cookbook to anyone who is looking to add more vegan options to their diet, it shows that being a vegan doesn't have to be boring or tasteless.

Fabulous Chinese cuisine by the greatest vegan cook!,

This review is from: Authentic Chinese Cuisine: For the contemporary kitchen (Paperback)
Bryanna's Italian cookbook "Nonna's Italian Kitchen" must be the very finest ever example of vegan cookbook published to this date. And now she's done it again - with this wonderful vegan cookbook on Chinese cuisine, taking you all the way through dumplings, dim sum, noodles, soups, stir-fries, ... and vegetarian "mock-meats" that were invented thousands of years ago by strict buddhist monks. Whereas it used to be quite a work to rinse out the starch of a flour ball so that only the protein (gluten) was left, the arrival of pure gluten powder makes this a snap to prepare at home. While some recipes are somewhat elaborate which acquire some routine (making dumplings, spring rolls, etc.), there are several quick recipes (stir-fry chapter a.o.) that are very easy to prepare. It is an excellent cookbook if you love chinese foods, and the innovative inclusion of above-mentioned "mock-meats" makes it a cut above the rest. The pages are jam-packed with one tasty recipe after the other - this is a shining example that you do not need to feel deprived when embarking on a vegan diet.
