C. Gingold: Each recipe is a gem and easy to make. A beginner's bible to cooking Chinese food. Even bought it for a friend who mentioned she wanted to make Chinese food. Most spices can be found in regular grocery stores. My go to cookbook when I can't figure out what to make for dinner. Rarely do I have leftovers. Major yum

fellow human: Definitely has some interesting things to try. I was pleased to see ma po tofu in there, and a recipe for chili oil. Although it had a couple of fish dishes, and the book covers Sichuan peppercorns, I was hoping to find a poached fish spicy mala noodle soup type recipe, as that's sort of a key homestyle Chinese dish for me (anyone know a good book for that?). I don't think I've seen many cold dishes in the book either. It would be nice if the index was more thorough, and although it's nice that some westernised dishes were included, I would probably have scrapped them to make space for more traditional homestyle, as it's not wholly comprehensive. The book doesn't appear to be too overwhelming, has good illustrations, covers a few basics for the novice (such as vegetable types, noodle types, and store bought sauce types and flavours). Overall seems like a good book.

Peter Halliday: Not a ton of recipes, but enough. And I was looking for a recipe book that showed me how to make sauces, and this book does it admirably.

JJ: Holy cow! This cookbook rocks! I’ve only had it 2 days and have already made 4 recipes. I made the garlic eggplant without the onions or ginger, because I didn’t have any at the time. My husband’s eyes lit up when he tried it and encouraged me to keep making more. Last night, I made the red braised pork belly, dry green beans, and smacked cucumbers. The pork belly is legit, tasted like my childhood. I am Taiwanese American. So far, the recipes are not too difficult. I love how she tells you what you can substitute ingredients for, like brown sugar for rock sugar or balsamic vinegar for rice vinegar. I’m going to go buy a wok!

Phil CrockettPhil Crockett: I can't say enough good things about this book! It's easy to follow and the results are phenomenal. If you love Chinese food as much as I do, then this recipe book should be on your shelf. Do yourself a favor and buy one, and then buy one for every family member in order to hopefully have them make you some of these dishes when you visit. Anyone that rates this book less than 5 stars has zero cooking skills or taste. In fact.... the only reason I gave this book 5 stars, is because they didn't offer 6!
