Review: I'm not a vegetarian, but this is a good one for anyone into Chinese cooking. I especially enjoy the pickling section. There are plenty of recipes using tofu as well. And fruits. Enough recipes to keep anyone busy for a while. The instructions are clear and each recipe is personalized by the author's descriptions. The shopping list is extra handy for anyone who can't read Chinese can take the book to the shop keeper and point to the Chinese characters adjacent to the English name for the ingredients.

Summary: For anyone looking for delicious ways to use Chinese veggies
Review: What seems like an unassuming book is stuffed with recipes for Asian ingredients. It describes varieties of the same ingredients and their differences, where to get them, and what to look for.

It is filled with easy to make delicacies from pickled vegetables to soup to dishes with a kick. If you like the ingredients used, you'll love the combinations of the ingredients and how they're used.
