Chinese food at home,
This review is from: Easy Chinese Recipes (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this cookbook because you can buy all the ingredients in a regular grocery store instead of having to go to Aisan markets.I've only made a few of the recipes so far, but everything I've tried is really good.

Easy recipes that produce delicious recipes- update,

This review is from: Easy Chinese Recipes (Hardcover)
Easy chinese recipes: family favorites from dim sum to kung Pao, pretty much says it all. This cookbook is full of the kind of recipes one would get out in a restaurant, from egg drop soup to orange chicken, only you, yes you, can make these at home. Low has demystified the sauces, the ingredients, and the techniques to make the recipes achievable, and yes, easy. This isn't a huge cookbook but the recipes included are the ones most people do seem to favor. When I read the recipe for shrimp toast I was thinking that no way would this taste like anything I'd get in a restaurant, it was too easy. As my sons and I chowed through the toast I kept thinking, wow, I made this! wow! and it was as good, if not better, than any restaurant.We have a place here, pushcart dim sum, that is delicious (and fairly pricey) At home, from this cookbook so far, I've made the ribs, the black bean clams, and the pork bun filling, and it's all been really doable. I am not a stranger to Chinese cooking, I've been doing it for many years, but I still like to eat out because restaurant food is just different, and now I am making food that tastes like I ordered it from our favorite Chinese take out. Pros: well laid out recipes with ingredient list and directions that are easy to read and follow Pictures of every recipe pictures of some of the trickier techniques a good basic explanation of techniques and ingredients in the front of the book delicious easy recipes Cons: none that I've found. quibbles- I like plain white background paper but that isn't really star reduction worthy. *ETA April 12, 2012. I can't tell you how much I love this book. Everything comes out delicious and looking pretty much like the picture. Out of 14 chinese cookbooks this has become my go to book. I recently did a cook book purge and got rid of over 300, including several Chinese, I just didn't need them anymore because this is the book I turn to. I make something from it weekly, and it's such a winner. Make this your fist Chinese cookbook, or your last, either way you will be happy you bought this book. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful

The Title says it all..Easy!!!,
By maureen c - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Chinese Recipes (Hardcover)
Anyone who has wanted to learn to cook Chinese food, but felt intimidated by the indgredients, should definitely buy this cookbook!!My daughter gave me this cookbook, and I absolutely love it! I have had several Asian cookbooks over the years, but always found them hard to understand,and find some of the ingredients, so I basically gave up trying Chinese recipes. In her cookbook Bee describes the ingredients, shows you what they look like with incredible pictures, and where to find them if your local store doesn't have what you want....how easy is that!! Now i am cooking chinese inspired dishes like an expert, all because of Bee!!! 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Easy Chinese Recipes (Hardcover)
This book really helped me master the art of Chinese cooking. I love to entertain with "theme" nights and my friends all agree that "Chinese" night is their favorite! Plus, the photography is beautiful. I enjoy all aspects of this book, it's beautiful and my guests always leave happy and full! Thanks Bee!
