Chinese Kitchen

Reviewer: Juliana Koh (jkp329@yahoo.com.sg) from Singapore

A definite buy if you want a REAL Chinese cook book. I should know because I am Chinese and I have come across alot of so called Chinese cook books which are not the real stuff - e.g. short cut ways /steps in the preparations, substitution of certain ingredients to name 2 examples.

There is a section where she gave her recipes for making various sauces rather than rely on commercial bottled ones . This is a good reference which even experienced Chinese cooks would find helpful. One of my hobbies is reading cook books and I find this an excellent Chinese cook book. Chinese cooking is more than just adding soya sauce and stir frying. Her vast experiences alone is enough to convince anyone interested in Chinese cooking to invest in this book - a real keepsake,
