Summary: Good to start on, but not enough on meat...
Review: This is one of the two cookbooks I got just a month ago (I never cooked before then...). I am 22 and was moving into my own apt, and had to cook for myself, how scary huh?This book made it all so simple. I mean, with chinese cooking, every dish is so similar that you don't need to buy ingredients specific to every single dish (unlike the american cuisine book I got). All the dishes in here are simple, fast, and best yet, tasty! Great book to start on. My only complaint is that it leaves you wanting more... there is only one recipe for beef and, not counting the roasted pork, one dish for pork, not enough at all. If you are a first time cooker and interested in chinese food, knock yourself out with this book, and this comment has some merits because I'm chinese and have been eating chinese food all my life, AUTHENTICATE chinese food too!

Summary: Easy to use, but lacking.
Review: This was one of the first few cookbooks that I every bought. I am pretty familiar with cooking Chinese food. I felt this book had good pictures and easy to follow instructions. However, I felt that it lacked any sort of variety in the receipes. Many of them were very similar in taste and there weren't many to choose from. I think there are many other books that have a greater number of receipes to choose from for the price.
