I have several Chinese cookbooks and this is, by far, the best Chinese cookbook I have. The dishes are delicious and the recipes are easy to follow. My mother, who is Chinese, gave me this cookbook when I first started cooking Chinese food and it is still my favorite. I absolutely love it and have tried almost every recipe in the book. I have tried other recipes from different Chinese cookbooks and they just don't hold up next to this one...my husband can attest to that. This is a cookbook for the true novice, a 5th grader could follow the recipes with ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Chinese Cookbook for beginners, February 14, 2001

This was my first Chinese cookbook. I highly recommend this cookbook to the novice and intermediate Chinese cooks. The book contains many pictures and illustrations. Each recipe has its own photo, therefore, you have a sense of what the finished product should look like. The recipes are simple and very easy to follow. I have probably made every recipe in this book. The dishes turned out to be superb (even for a novice like me). I have since purchased many more cookbooks by this author. I have yet to be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars stupendous cook book, October 2, 2005

This review is from: Chinese Cooking for Beginners (Paperback)

I have loved Chinese food for many years and have often wished I could recreate my favorite dishes at home. I've tried a few other cookbooks and those are currently sitting in my cupboard gathering dust. Some have good recipes but all require lots of ingredients and preparation time.

Chinese Cooking for Beginners on the other hand is fantastic. The recipes are easy to follow and can be made with only a few basic ingredients. The six dishes I've cooked so far were absolutely delicious. My wife jokes that she suddenly has a Chinese chef for a husband.

There are several dozen other cookbooks in the Wei-chuan cooking series. Based on how impressed I am with this book, I recently ordered several others.

So do your stomach a favor today and buy this book!
