Healthy eating - By: F. A. Wood, 20 Jun 2008 
Three weeks in China last year- lower cholesterol & no gastric reflux-so chefs hat on & 2/3 home cooked Chinese meals a week. Overalll I have not been disappointed.First time round , stick religiously to the recipes (on those where some ingredients do not mysteriously disappear) - you will find some absolute gems. Some will require your intervention second time round to boost the taste, persevere, experience comes through. A wonderful addition to my library - & I am 74yo. Frank Wood.
Superb - By: zztopbanana, 09 Nov 2007 This recipe book is a superb addition to anyone's culinary library - clearly not every recipe will suit every person but it is inconceivable that you would not find a significant number of useful recipes in here & even if you found just one nugget, then considering the price, it would be well worth it.
The variety of recipes in any of the 1000 series is simply staggering & there are quite a few vegetarian recipes here too - to say you are stuck for choice is an understatement.
Ok, so there are no photographs but against that, the books don't cost a fortune either & they are compact.
You reallly cannot go wrong with any of these recipe books & when you consider they cost little more than 1 issue of pretty much any food magazine, well, they truly are an absolute bargain.
Buy this one, buy them alll - you won't be disappointed.
Good, and simple oriental cooking - By: Mrs. A. J. Shingler, 08 Jun 2005 This is an excellent recipe book for the beginner (such as me) who's just bought a wok & wants to get started.
Although there are 1000 recipes here, many of them make clear just how simple Chinese cookery is because with just a handful of ingredients bought at the Chinese (or any) supermarket, you can create loads of dishes you thought were only available at the take-away.
While you probably won't ever be able to re-create a gourmet Chinese restaurant meal, you CAN create dozens of meals (including lots of vegetarian meals) & tastes that you previously thought were just TOO difficult.
Buy that rice wine, star anise, dark soy & get going - if you love Chinese food you SHOULD learn how to make it & this recipe book shows that it's simple!
