Captain S: I loved the background stories about Gok’s parents and their commitment to each other. Him mum being English learned what foods make her husband & children happy. A very heart warming book with gorgeous recipes.

Lynett: Easy to follow instructions. Simple recipes with few ingredients. You need to get a stock of basic sauces, but you will use them over and over again as they are used in several recipes in the book.

Gerry Davis: If you want a cook book that has recipes you can use without any prior knowledge of Chinese Cooking, to produce meals that have big flavours with healthy ingredients so you don't clog up your arteries, then this is the book for you. And it's easy enough to use the recipes to learn principles that you can apply to different ingredients. The only suggestion to ignore is that you use a cleaver to chop food if you have always been used to standard kitchen knives. Gok can handle a cleaver with expertise, because he was brought up with using one. But if you haven't, then stay away from this blade unless you feel you have too may fingers and would like to lose a few.

Katie: I found this to be a great cookbook. It was very easy to follow with simple recipes. We have already tried the green beans - delicious.

Mindy: I bought this for my sister for Christmas after getting a copy for myself.
I've made about a dozen dishes from the book, and all have been delicious. The garlic chicken, and steamed buns are my personal favourites. But the fried rice is also excellent. Lots of beautiful illustrations, clear and easy to follow directions, and explanations of different falvourings make this book very accessable to folks who haven't got a lot of experience cooking Chinese food.

Natalie Hansen: I received this book a little before it's official release date (Whoops, Amazon!) - so I had the chance to try out a few recipes before reviewing (this is a cookbook after all).
Now, I own a number of cookbooks, from Chinese, to Japanese, to Thai, and the reason why I bought yet another Chinese cookbook is because I admit it, I was in a bit of a rut, and it's always good to have a wider pool of ideas to dip into. The deciding point, for me, was when I saw a sneak preview of a Dim Sum recipe or two, and I couldn't believe they were from Gok Wan - so I thought I would give this a go and see what else he could do.
Now, the book is laid out in a non-intimidating, and logical way, with Takeaway Classics to dip your toe into, progressing through to some wonderfully adventurous, and modern dishes which you can build up to when you gain more confidence. Chinese food isn't all about chow mein, don't you know?
The book also presents us with a list of cupboard essentials and equipment, which is very handy for the Chinese cooking novice, and these are things you will be using again, and again (yes, you will use Fish sauce over and over again, and Sesame Oil will quickly...
