This is an engaging cookbook. The recipes are presented grouped as to the cooking method, which I found instructive. I wish it had more vegetarian offerings although there are quite a few tofu dishes. The book clearly illustrates the depth of Chinese cooking as a culture, technique and flavors. Recommended.

Too hardcore for me, but great for people who want to go beyond Fuschia Dunlop. Well-designed and clearly written. Super classy!

Lots of detail for those new to Chinese cooking. Although I feel like we could use more illustrations on cutting vegetables and maybe not a several page spread on boning a fish? Still, the recipes are great, and it gives an amazing overview of a very diverse cuisine.
