Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Most of the recipes in this revised edition of a 1981 title are new, developed by a Minneapolis chef and restaurateur. Recipe notes and instructions are clear and precise, but in general the recipes themselves are nothing special; many are standard Chinese menu offerings. Still, Betty Crocker books seem to have a devoted following; buy for demand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Restaurant quality food from your kitchen!, November 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook: Recipes by Leeann Chin (Hardcover)
Every recipe I've tried tastes like it's from a quality Chinese restaurant. The recipes are easy to understand, I can find the ingredients in my local market, and the finished quality is consistently delicious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first Chinese cookbook, September 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook: Recipes by Leeann Chin (Hardcover)
I came across this book recently and found it very useful for my initial experience at cooking Chinese. Although I'm a pretty proficient cook,, I've never had much success trying Chinese dishes before. The difficulty I'd had with some of the other well-known Chinese cookbooks is that they are too complicated if you've never cooked with some of the ingredients before -- too many variables for the novice. This book takes a somewhat simpler, yet satisfying approach. It doesn't lack interest. I think I'll learn a great deal from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE best Chinese cookbook yet!, March 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook: Recipes by Leeann Chin (Hardcover)
I have at least 6 Chinese cookbooks, and this one is absolutely the best ever! So far, each recipe I have tried has been rated between an 8 and a 10 for taste. It doesn't get much better than that. I am just waiting for another book to be written with Leann Chin's additional recipes.
