Summary: For Authentic Szechwan Cuisine
Comment: This is not a book that will allow you to revisit dishes that are made at your typical Chinese restaurant. First of all this is Szechwan Cuisine - China has many different Cuisines - Mandarin, Hunan, Beijing, Cantonese, etc. This book is for someone that wants to make an authentic Szechwan dish, and not for making a bastardization that one has become accustomed to in the U.S. For authenticity, this is the book for you. For a novice, pick up a title that has the word "Beginner" in it. This is an excellent book!

Summary: Highly Disappointed!
Comment: We love Chinese foods and spicy foods. I bought this book thinking I'm going to cook up some spicy and delicious meals. However, when the book arrived... I was highly disappointed to discover the recipes - did not appeal to me, not not as impressive as I expected it to be. Not enough recipes for meat... and more like a vegetarian cookbook! I found more delicious and practical recipes from the book "Chinese Cuisine" which I also bought along with this book.

Summary: Must have for lovers of spicy food
Comment: The Wei Chuan series of cookbooks are must haves for anyone interested in cooking Chinese cuisine. I am particularly fond of SzeChwan style food so this cookbook was a natural choice for me. This book has descriptions for preparations of special food items that is very helpful. I especially recommend this book for anyone who loves spicy food (the kung pao recipes alone make the book worth buying). For anyone who wants vegetarian food Sze Chwan style won't be the right choice--I would recommend buying Wei Chuan's Indian cuisine cookbook or their Simply Vegetarian cookbook instead.

Summary: not for vegetarians!
Comment: I had hoped that there would be a fair amount of vegetarian recipes in this book but was very disappointed to find precious few.

Summary: Brought the chef out of me!
Comment: Wei Chuan's collection of cookbooks are fabulous. All the recipes are as authentic as it gets. Recipes are easy to follow and it actually TASTES good. I am planning to get the whole collection of Wei Chuan's cookbooks.
