Good, but not one of We-Chuan's best,
By C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Chinese Rice and Noodles: With Appetizers, Soups and Sweets (Paperback)
I generally enjoyed this book, although there are very few recipes included that I will follow. Mostly, I found it interesting because it illustrates, I think, a something of a new synthesis of Chinese food and Western-style Chinese food. I would not go so far as to say that this book was written with a western reader in mind but it does appear that some western approaches to Chinese food have been utilized in many recipes. The General-Tso's chicken over rice is not quite the same over-breaded and sickly sweet rendition one sees in the west but it does appear to be a bit closer to what one would see in, say, New York rather than Tapei. There is a bit of interesting and useful discussion of various noodles and rice types, but beyond that, most of the actual recipes are not very exciting.

Delicious and Simple,
By Peneloppe "Penny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Rice and Noodles: With Appetizers, Soups and Sweets (Paperback)
I am chinese but grew up in US. Even though I do eat american food often I still miss good chinese food. Now that I moved away from my mother, I needed to cook something chinese myself and for my husband, so we turn to Wei Chuan. We have Wei chuan Thai book, Mexican and Sichuan book already and we like this series very much because it has concise steps, and makes great food. This book is no exception. I have already made 2 dishes from the book since 1 week ago we bought the book. We made Pork and Mustard Veg with noodle, and we made Lion's Head, and also our favorite dish, 3 sauces (or cups) chicken. All turned out pretty well and with preparation time and cooking all over 1 hour.Tonight we are going to cook another one of my favorite that my mom cooks all the time, the Red Cooked Pork. There are actually many recipes in the book that are easy to follow and don't require that many exotic ingredients. IN fact we have most of the ingridents already before we went to the asian grocery to get some additional meats. (pork shoulder and minced pork). These days I am just tired of eating fatty greasy american food, and craves for some good simple chinese food that dosen't take too long to cook or prepare. This book is perfect and I am sure we will be using it a lot along with our Thai and mexican book. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

AMAZING,
By christine "cookbook enthusiast" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chinese Rice and Noodles: With Appetizers, Soups and Sweets (Paperback)
I purchased this book along with some other Chinese cookbook and I have to say nothing compares to this book. Everything is simply described and easy to understand. There are pictures of every recipe and she also gives variations to recipes. My favorites are the wontons, so easy to make, and the Three Sauce Chicken, again so easy and delicious. I am sure in a few weeks that will change :)I could not do without this book in my kitchen, I use it every day. This book is amazing! |
