Chinese Cuisine

Reviewer: lim4@earthlink.net from Marin county, California

Chinese Cuisine is the most often used book in my fairly large Chinese cookbook collection. The reason for that is because: 1) I love the recipes and choice of dishes: and 2) the information is conveyed so efficiently, that you don't find yourself having to re-read or repeatedly refer to the recipes as you do with most other cookbooks. The pictures, although not glamorous, give you a good idea of how the dish should be served up. Ocassionally, however, you'll notice that the photos show hand carved ingredients or ingredients that the recipe doesn't call for. You kind of wish that they would provide instructions or options for such items. It is an excellent book for anyone seeking an authentic Chinese cookbook.
