 It is pretty, but is it useful? September 14, 2008
The reviewers are right, it is a beautiful cook book. I checked this book out from the local library and have tried to make 2 egg recipes. Neither have been successful. Now, no I am not Chinese or Asian. I have made many other Asian & Chinese dishes. This book, to me, is a coffee table cookbook. It is too large to work with and around on a counter. There used to be a blogger that reviewed cookbooks to see if the recipes were actually useful. [...]. Thanks.
Quick, easy, and delicious! June 13, 2008
I use this book at least twice a week because every dish has been a hit with the family and the dishes are so easy to prepare and healthy too. Even when I don't have all the ingredients for a recipe and I need to improvise, the dishes always turn out tasty anyway. Every recipe comes with a very appetizing picture of the finished product and several, very helpful, how-to photos. She also gives detailed descriptions of unfamiliar ingredients and photos of brands she uses. This a great beginner cookbook!

I love this book! Kylie Kwong has put some fantastic fresh ideas forward that really liven up any meal. It's a great book for the beginning cook as well as the experienced, not everything is traditional and both will find something that is surprising and inspiring. I have to say that I adore the vegetable section in this book, it's fantastic.
Fabulous Chinese dishes with detailed instructions February 26, 2008
This is an art book accompanied by wonderful recipes. The photos that accompany the recipes are so beautiful!! I could taste the dishes!
It's a fantastic book for a beginner because some of the dishes are wonderful yet simple and looks do-able. But, there are dishes for more advanced cooks too.
Kylie includes a lot of step by step photo instructions like how to fold wonton, how to cut and fry tofu cubes, how to clean and score squid, etc... In this instructional aspect with the photos, she's the BEST. This book will be appreciated by all who wants to learn Chinese cooking.
