review 1: When I picked this up at the library today, the librarian was quite excited about it, and said she'd have to write it on her list of books to get. I can't remember where, but I came across a review for it just recently, although the book was published in 2002. The book starts with some pantry essentials, before getting into recipes, each with a little background. Along with old favorites like chop suey and General Tsou, there are recipes for food I had never heard of before. I can't wait to make marbled tea eggs with the kids, I think they would really enjoy it. Overall, an interesting read with some tempting recipes.
review 2: Only made two recipes so far, but just those two earn this book a perfect rating. For as long as I've been cooking, I've been dying--DY... moreING, I tell you!--to learn how to make junky, takeout-style Chinese food at home. I've experimented with virtually every recipe I could find online, but nothing ever satisfied the same way a giant serving of strip-mall buffet food would. I just figured it was the lack of MSG...or some other mystery ingredient I didn't want to know about.We got perfect General Tso's Chicken and broccoli from this book. Even the steamed rice was better than I've ever made (rinse the rice, use less than double water). We're completely sold and this will be a regular go-to book when we crave food that's just a little naughty, but still fresh and homemade. less
