Title: Great core chinese cookery book. Lots and lots of recipes.
Product review: I have the old version of this text, which waspublished in 72. I was browsing through cook books at the store and noticed that I had seen all the recipes before and then I realized it was the same book, only a newer cover.This has been my bible of chinese cooking. The book is very thorough and easy to understand.It has all the well known chinese recipesand a description of cooking techniques, such as the proper ways to carve and present meat. All recipes are categorized bytheir main ingredient (pork, chicken, beef,seafood, ect. . ) with a chapter on deserts.My only qualm with this book is it doesn't providethe chinese name for many recipes. This mightbe because they have been generalize for awestern audience and the chinese names no longerapply, but I'd like to think thatthey are authentic originals from traditional dishes.If you only own one chinese cooking book, this isthe one to have. Maybe that is why the titleis "THE Chinese Cook Book".
