Summary: The food of China by Nina Somonds and Deh-ta Hsiung
Comment: I originally purchased this book in Beijing to help me with my cooking when I lived there. I enjoyed it so much that I have since purchase 5 copies to give as gifts when I returned to the US. The ingredients are readily available both here and in China and the food is delicious, easy to prepare and traditional to China. I heartily recommend it, even to the novice chef. Most of the recipes have limited ingredients and are easy and quick to make and my friends always rave about the end product. The photographs make this look like an amazing coffee table book, but they are functional as well giving many step by step illustrations on techniques. Well worth the money and a must for people who enjoy Chinese food that is sensational.

Summary: Recipes taste like the real thing!
Comment: We found this book to be a real gem. Each of the recipes we tried turned out like food we have ordered in good Chinese restaurants here in San Francisco. And the lush photographs, many of which accompany each recipe, are truly inspiring!
We have plenty of Chinese ingredients on hand due to the plethora of Asian markets so finding ingredients was no challenge, but may be for people without Asian markets. There is no listing of resources for ingredients in the book.
The seafood section is very extensive and varied and we have used many of the recipes because we are able to get a variety of fresh seafood here. Meat and vegetable sections are wonderful. Recipes are easy to follow, BUT PLEASE NOTE that quantities are given in grams, which require some calculations before you begin.....a minor setback when you consider the final product.
We have bought copies of the book as gifts because we have been so delighted with it. We have at least 10 Chinese cookbooks but find that this is the only one we use. Finally, I am satisfied with Chinese cooking at home!

Summary: informative and beautifully photographed
Comment: I have always had an affinity for cookbooks that are beautifully photographed with a number of easy to do recipies. This book is simply spectacular as it has a number of great spreads and a variety of recipies. In essence, this book provides insight into many of the cultural rituals that the Chinese have with food, such as dim sum and tea. I would definitely recommend this book not only for its recipies, but also as a gift for anybody interested in Chinese food and culture.
