Worth the weight/wait!
Pre-ordered this book and waited a really long time for it because delivery date kept getting pushed back. Finally got it and so worth the wait! Heavy book with tons of recipes! I love how each recipe is accompanied by a photo, so you can actually see what you're supposed to make as opposed to imagining it. Also, the recipes themselves are rather easy to follow, unlike some other Chinese cookbooks with recipes that are complex and have too many steps. I'm really enjoying the recipes that remind me of the ones my mom made growing up.

Heavy!
Wow, I'm glad I wasn't buying this one by the pound! I haven't had a chance to use any of the recipes yet but I thumbed through all 600 plus pages. There were many I know I will be trying in the near future. Not living in a big city, I was glad to see most use ingredients I can find without too much trouble.

Simply Beautiful
This has to be the most beautiful cookbook I’ve acquired over the years. That statement says a lot as I’m quite the cookbook collector! The narrative, photography and layout are breath taking in the cookbook world. Recipes are divided into regions which is very important in Chinese cooking. Each region has a very distinct style, taste and technique. Just amazing.

Fantastic Resource
This is an informative, well put together cookbook. I particularly enjoyed the regional cultural, geographical and historical backgrounds that inspired the recipes. Easy to follow recipes and great illustrations make this an excellent guide for Chinese cuisine.

apart from the recipes of various regions in China, it's a teaching read for sure. For serious cooks. Well done and quite readable.

Written by American
It’s OK if you’re American, but when your wife is Chinese and she reads this, she will tell you it’s no good not authentic Chinese food

Its a good read with inspiring photos. Recipes work and work well, but there is also a lot to learn as techniques are described and the regional styles explained. Its a special book ( but huge!)
