Its a good cook book, but it is not traditional chinese cooking, the recipes use nontraditional ingredients in their recipes. More like the flavors of chinese cooking. Other then that, its pretty decent recipes for beginners. Bilingual, spanish and english, plenty of pictures!!!

This is my go-to book for making Chinese (American style) food at home. My copy is dog-eared and stained, but always on my cookbook shelf. Very easy directions, step-by-step with lots of pictures.

Everything I've made is good. My family loves the sweet and sour pork (homemade sweet and sours sauce - so easy) and the various fried rice options.

The only advice is to pre-measure and use "mise en place" or prepare all the ingredients in small dishes before hand, then continue on with the recipe. The ingredients are readily available, but some recipes have a number of ingredients to mix beforehand. It's not hard and worth the results!
