5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Chinese cook book   December 22, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was looking for a cook book with relatively simple recipes that I didn't have to go to the Asian market all the time to find ingredients for. The recipes are in English and in Chinese (which I figure is a good sign in a Chinese cook book), and are generally simple, easy to make, and the ingredients are often inexpensive, too.
All of the recipes we have tried so far have been delicious, have taken less than 45 minutes total to prepare (often less than a half hour), and our children have LOVED them, too. This isn't a book that only gives you versions of typical Chinese take-out (although there is a beef with broccoli and a couple of great chicken stir-fries); the recipes tend to be more homey and healthy. We've enjoyed it a lot.

3 out of 5 stars Instructions too brief   July 26, 2006

This book has great pictures but the instructions are almost too simple. For a beginning cook, it is hard to follow the brief instructions.


5 out of 5 stars Solid, simple cookbook   February 19, 2006
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This slim cookbook covers a lot of common Chinese-American dishes, including chicken salad, roast pork, hot and sour soup, moo shu pork, egg foo yung, broccoli beef, sweet and sour shrimp, fried egg rolls, and fried wontons. The recipes are generally quite easy to follow, and are all beautifully illustrated, so you know what the end result is supposed to look like.

If you want to learn to cook the dishes that many people are used to getting from Chinese restaurants, this cookbook can be a great place to start.


5 out of 5 stars stupendous cook book   October 3, 2005
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

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!
