    One book that replaced six of my Chinese recipe books.

    Many recipes that look great. My favorite to date is Lobster sauce....with many variations. There are recipes for sauces for hundreds of dishes. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious too!

  • Very good, but NOT the 'holy grail' of chinese cooking

    I decided to get it mainly because I wanted to recreate some of my restaurant favorites at home, and discover some recipes I've never tried... You'd THINK that with a title like '1000 recipe chinese cookbook' you can't go wrong!! That it's like the ULTIMATE collection of chinese recipes!! Well, that's partly true... It's very evident that this author took a painstakingly extensive effort into not only the collection of recipes but she delves into the the technical parts of it, like cooking techniques, ingredients, even a history or a Chinese culture lesson here & there. There are 4 pages alone discussing nothing but chopsticks ferchristsake!! *lol* It was a labor of love & it shows. However, as thorough as she's tried to make the book out to be, there still are a few missing ...

  • Love these cookbooks good price "$1"

  • Wonderful!!! Received much than expected. 100% ++++

    I decided to buy the Chinese Cookbook because it's easy to read, understand, follow and find ingredients. The book is more complete than I expected. If you're into Chinese cooking I highly recommend this book.

  • Recipies were difficult.

    The recipies were not realistic.I read the book cover to cover. I have purchased many books and was very diisappointed in this one.
