review 1: Who reads cookbooks? Well, I do sometimes. I'm a reasonably good cook and I really enjoy good food. I lived in Taiwan for two years back in the mid '70s and I have been trying for 35 years to recreate the elusive flavors I remember. This book finally allowed me to do that. Grace Young defined the subtle, quintessential something that I had been missing as "wok hay" and her book taught me how to capture it.The recipes are fabulous, but the greatest value of this book for me (besides the revelation of wok hay) was the stories Young tells of the Chinese diaspora and how Chinese cuisine has been adapted to the culinary environs of all the countries where Chinese people have settled. Jamaican Jerk Chicken Fried Rice is just one exciting example.This is an exceptional book. An a... morebsolute must for anyone interested in Chinese cooking.
review 2: This is an excellent cookbook. Every recipe I've tried from it so far has been easy to follow and has resulted in delicious, authentic meals. What I like best, though, is how thoroughly Young discusses all the basic ingredients of Chinese cooking, explains (in words and pictures) basic knife skills for different preparations, and covers proper cleaning and care of a wok. I got this book for Christmas, and already I've learned so much from it. I highly recommend it. less
