Great little book - By: D. M. Traynor, 03 Sep 2008 
The best book on chinese take away food I have read or used. Ingredients easy to get.Clear diagrams Used it so much it wore out. Have just ordered a new copy
Fantastic, easy to follow, and tasty recipes - By: The Goldfish, 16 Aug 2008 I bought this book 6 weeks ago & have learnt some great recipes. The introduction into the philosophy behind Chinese cooking, & methods of cooking are really good, but not excessively long. The recipes are simple to follow, & ingredients easy to get. It was really hard to get a book that made restaurant type food, & since getting this book I can't see myself ever needing to order a Chinese take away again!
Chinese food the right way for a fiver - By: Mr. D. Kirk, 16 Apr 2008 Cannot reccomend this book enough. True it is a small book, but it tells you so much. Highly reccomend the recpie for Char Sui Pork - worth it for that ALONE
Great little cookbook - By: R. Haines, 05 Dec 2006 This plainly presented modest paperback is full of classic recipes that work very well. It also has some good sections covering technique. I use this book a lot & wouldn't be without it on my shelf.
Excellent Starter Book for NEW Chinese cook Wanabees - By: , 02 Aug 2001 
As a novice cook & a lover of Chinese food, I purchased this book along with a Wok & started my voyage of discovery into the far east. The book was perfect for the starter to learn how to Season the wok, use the wok & care for the most important part of your kitchen. It gives great details about sizes & shapes of cuts when preparing meat & veggies to ensure you start off on the right foot. I started of on the simpler looking dishes, picking out a few favourites that I had enjoyed on my walks home from the pub on a Friday night. The descriptions & details & simplicity of the book & the way it is written ensured that my first few easy dishes turned out like restaurant food (even if I do say so myself). A couple more visits to the Chinese supermarket & a purchase of a few simple &in expensive items ensured that I could progress & tackle slightly more extravagant dishes which again have turned out very tasty. Since I have loaned my book out to several wanabees & helped themin the supermarket buy their first Wok. Allin all, an excellent book with fabulous dishes that anyone can make.
