A good starting point,

This review is from: Chinese Cooking Made Easy (Wei-chuans cookbook) (Paperback)
The key to this cookbook is correct expectations. As mentioned, you won't find a recipe in here for General Tso Chicken, etc. What you will get is a basic introduction to how to make authentic tasting dishes by seeing how various sauces are made, etc. This provided a great starting point for me to be able to improvise all kinds of dishes, soups, etc.
If you are looking for a cookbook that will walk you step by step through Moo Goo Gai Pan and Moo Shu Pork, you probably want to look elsewhere.

Must have book for authentic Chinese food,
This review is from: Chinese Cooking Made Easy (Wei-chuans cookbook) (Paperback)
This book is one of a series put out by Wei-Chuan Publishing from Taiwan. I bought this particular title while living in Taiwan in 1992 and have used it continuously since. Part of the draw for me is that this book (like most of the Wei-Chuan publications) is bilingual (as I was studying Chinese in Taiwan). More importantly, the recipes are easy to follow, have good pictures of what each finished dish should look like, and has a front section on mixing various sauces that can be used with whatever you want to stir-fry.

take it from an American born Chinese,

This review is from: Chinese Cooking Made Easy (Wei-chuans cookbook) (Paperback)
This book is authentic. My mom never taught me to cook. Instead she made sure I hit the books and studied while she did all the cooking and cleaning. Now with my own family I'd like to reproduce the flavors I grew up with. Often resturant Chinese food is too greasy, over fried and has too much MSG and sugar. With this cook book I can create healthy Chinese dinners for my family, and I know exactly how much salt and sugar is in each dish.
