 Rating:  - Not so easyI entirely agree with the first reviewer, in that these recipes are among the tastiest food I've ever eaten - and I've been cooking for over 30 years, including Chinese food. The only criticism I would make is that in some places the text is somewhat light on detail. Anyone tackling the "Spicy dofu & edamame beans" needs to be aware that you will need a non-stick saucepan to fry the dofu. Since I cook with cast iron saucepans, and stainless steel is widely used, the injunction "careful not to ... Read More Rating:  - Bland and SameyThere must be some easily pleased folks around judging by the reviews. Well, I'm not one of them. I've seen the series and bought my wife the book and we both agree that it's, to say the least uninspired.

I also find that hers tend to be punchier with more flavour and pizzazz than many other versions. Maybe it's my despoiled western ... Read More Rating: - I love this book!!I always thought that chinese food would be difficult to make, but this book proved me wrong as these recipies are easy and quick and also the best chinese food i have ever had. After buying this book, you will never want takeaway again when it is so much better to make it yourself. It is also good that Ching explains that history behind some of the dishes and also gives valuable information in the back for people who are not acquainted with chinese cooking or ingridents. The only problem is that some of ... Read More Rating:  - Chinese Food Made Difficult!!As a keen amateur cook, well versed in other genres, I thought I'd branch out into Chinese cooking. The first disappointment was that half the recipes that featured on the BBC programme weren't in the book. The other major disappointment is that the instructions are so basic that nothing is explained properly and half the recipes don't work. I have since bought a Ken Hom book and found that not only has she stolen half his recipes, he explains everything a lot better. Don't waste your money on ...
