Joby65: I was eager to receive this book; however, after reading the book I was disappointed. Its a well written cookbook, but it does not contain any of my favorite takeout food. No lo mein, no General Tso, no beef with pepper and onion, and many more. Perhaps a screenshot of it's contents should be listed to better help a purchaser.

Fixed Gear: As the owner of over 50 cookbooks and a cook myself, this is one of my favorites.

Jane , L.A.: I had borrowed this book via my Libby library app and read it on my Kindle. I liked it and therefore ordered a hard copy of the book on Amazon. But the type size in the hard copy was too small for me. The book itself is delightful (per my Kindle library loan). If you don’t have trouble with a small typeface, go for it! Otherwise stick with Kindle for this one. The older I get, the more cookbooks seem to have this problem 😊

Carmen EckertCarmen Eckert: Buying cookbooks online is very difficult. Sometimes you are looking for a book that has recipes of all the dishes you like and want to learn to cook them at home. I love Chinese food , so the title of this book caught my eye and decided to purchase it. But I was looking for a couple of specific recipes which where not in this book. I wish they would at least list what recipes are in books here on Amazon. Just a picture of table of content should be sufficient. Other than that, the book has easy enough to follow recipes.

Interior Girl: I ordered this recipe book two days ago through "Prime" and was surprised to have it arrive at my door today (fast shipping and delivery). (Two day delivery). Although I have not tried, any of the recipes yet, it does have a wide variety of recipes including Starters & Soups, Chicken & Duck, Seafood, Beef & Pork, Vegetarian, Rice & Noodles, Buns & Sweet Things in the categories. It also includes a list of the "Essentials" to store in your cupboard. It also provides a description and information on the Essentials. I grabbed the last book that was available on Amazon before it was gone. I am sure they will have new stock coming in soon, however, you may have to wait a bit to receive your book. I am very happy that I purchased this book, and look forward to enjoying many of the recipes in the book, cooked in my new quality "Epicure" Wok. Reading the contents of the recipes, the ingredients are very healthy, as well as not being very "oily". I highly recommend this recipe book for anyone who enjoys Chinese Food. I am very happy with my purchase.

Becky at the beach: While I adore super authentic cookbooks, Fuschia Dunlop, Grace young etc, there is a place in my heart for the kind of food you get in those strip mall Chinese takeout places, the kind with bright shiny pictures on the wall, 2 tables, and you can see the guy cooking behind the curtain. I've had some of the best food from those kind of places.
Chinese takeaway by Kwoklyn Wan serves those kind of dishes. I'm not saying they aren't authentic, but they are the kind of recipes that are familiar in takeout and restaurants across America.
The majority of recipes have droolworthy photos that inspire me to get out my wok and get cooking. The ingredients are listed, then the directions are given. The directions are clear and easy to follow., if a little brief. Nothing is difficult but a passing knowledge on Chinese cooking might be helpful.
One thing to keep in mind is this book is English, not American. While the author, or publisher, does give American measurements and food names, you will find words like prawn for shrimp. I noticed there is another version coming out in a month or so that might be more Americanized, but I don't know as I haven't seen...
