Rating: - Simple Chinese Cooking by Kylie Kwong
I tried one of Kylie's recipes that was featured in the Washington Post and liked it so purchased the book.The book is absolutely fabulous.The dishes are extremely tasty and everything is explained very simply.I have used many of these recipes and am going to do a banquet for 10 people in my book club on Monday to go with the book we have read: Women of the Silk by Gail Tsukiyama. I would recommend this recipe book as a wonderful gift for anyone who likes Chinese food.
Rating: - Never fail, quick Chinese recipes - it's a winner
Kylie is awesome! Her simple, easy to read instructions truly never fail.I am working my way through the book and so far have made about 15 of the mainly meat, entrees.Every one has been delicious and relatively quick to prepare.I have really enjoyed this book and look forward to making more.

- It is pretty, but is it useful?
The reviewers are right, it is a beautiful cook book. I checked this book out from the local library and have tried to make 2 egg recipes. Neither have been successful. Now, no I am not Chinese or Asian. I have made many other Asian & Chinese dishes. This book, to me, is a coffee table cookbook. It is too large to work with and around on a counter. There used to be a blogger that reviewed cookbooks to see if the recipes were actually useful. [...]. Thanks.
Rating: - Quick, easy, and delicious!
I use this book at least twice a week because every dish has been a hit with the family and the dishes are so easy to prepare and healthy too.Even when I don't have all the ingredients for a recipe and I need to improvise, the dishes always turn out tasty anyway.Every recipe comes with a very appetizing picture of the finished product and several, very helpful, how-to photos.She also gives detailed descriptions of unfamiliar ingredients and photos of brands she uses. This a great beginner cookbook!
Rating: - great book
I love this book! Kylie Kwong has put some fantastic fresh ideas forward that really liven up any meal. It's a great book for the beginning cook as well as the experienced, not everything is traditional and both will find something that is surprising and inspiring.I have to say that I adore the vegetable section in this book, it's fantastic.
