In this beautifully designed cookbook, the man with the lightning-fast knife and wit to match presents a classic selection of easy-to-prepare, healthful, and irresistible Chinese dishes. Roast Duck Soup with Bean Thread Noodles and fiery Sichuan Tofu are just two of the ways the chef plunges into the flavors of Chinese cuisine. Beginning cooks will feel especially at ease among the clear and simple instructions that are Martin Yan's trademark. In addition to recipes, Yan provides fundamentals, techniques, expert explanations, and an illustrated glossary of ingredients.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The latest book from prolific cookbook author and television chef Yan offers 140 recipes for everyday Chinese cooking, lavishly illustrated with vibrant color photographs, many of them full page. There are classics as well as more contemporary variations, such as Tangy Citrus Chicken, Yan's update of sweet-and-sour chicken, along with more unusual dishes like his Fish and Chips Chinese-Style. Headnotes provide background (and some of Yan's trademark puns), and there's a good illustrated glossary of ingredients. If you need yet another Chinese cookbook, this is a good choice; in any case, fans should guarantee demand.

This review is from: Martin Yan's Invitation to Chinese Cooking (Paperback)
I have over 200 cookbooks, and at least 40 of them are Asian, but this is my favorite Asian cookbook. The recipes for the Duck Salad with Seasonal Fruit, and the Spicy Spinach Salad are worth the price of this book alone. This is my favorite Martin Yan cookbook.
