Rating: - Chinese Food Made Easy, the clue is in the title.
This book certainly, as the title suggests, makes chinese food easy.
Having made several attempts at chinese cooking, over many years and using several different chinese cook books, it is only since using Ching's book that I have achieved the results I wanted.It is the best book I have ever used and Ching must be congratulated on it.
Fantastic receipes and very useful options and tips. When doing chinese food I only use this book now.

Rating: - Authentic Chinese cooking
I am of Chinese heritage and I can proudly recommend this book. It was about time someone came up with this book for those of us who grew up on Chinese cuisine but find the traditional recipes too difficult to tackle on a day to day basis.

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 break the ... Read More

Rating: - Bland and Samey
There 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. Most of the recipes use the same basic ingredients regardless of the meat or fish content and generally end up tasting like a rough amalgam of far eastern food. I've travelled extensively woorldwide through my work and there's not a shred of doubt that most of these rather bland same tasting dishes do not ... Read More
