FOREWORD
The title of this book expresses the intent and purpose for which it was written. You will find that the key to great Chinese cooking lies in learning to enjoy yourself foremost and letting everything else follow.
This book will guide you through the simple techniques necessary for preparing the basic ingredients contained in the easy-to-follow recipes. The recipes have been developed and tested in Chinese cooking classes, along with a few personal favorites that have been handed down from family generations. Suggestions for meal planning have been reduced to a simple chart, for quick and easy reference.
The highly nutritious ingredients and quick sealing cooking methods of Chinese cooking are consistent with the emergence of a health and diet oriented society. The informal Chinese dinner is especially suited for today's life styles. Nutritious, economical and easy to prepare, Chinese food also happens to be very delicious. Thus, this book's emphasis has been placed upon the preparation of dishes used in everyday Chinese meals.
As you gain proficiency and personal confidence in Chinese cooking you will find this book helpful in adapting various recipes to your own personal tastes and experimenting with different ingredients to achieve a desired result. I encourage all my students and readers to go beyond the recipes, substitute ingredients, and - most importantly - have fun and Enjoy Chinese Cooking.

Summary: Enjoy Chinese Cuisine
Comment: This book is exactly what I was looking for in a Chinese cook book. I own several others and none of them are as easy to use as this one. I don't want to be a professional Chinese cook, I just want to be able to make some of the foods we love to eat from the take out places. This book is easy to read, the recipes are simple, and the ingredients are readily assessable. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Good for Beginners
Comment: This book has all of the basic recipes a beginner could want. Everything is well laid out and the directions easy to follow. No odd ingredients or difficult techniques.
There are a lot of books that can provide more varied and exotic recipes but if you're looking for a solid primer on Chinese cooking, this is a great place to start.

Summary: Best Chinese Recipe Book I have!
Comment: I had bought this book in the 90s, when it was first out and learnt to do all my Chinese cooking from it...From Sweet & Sour dishes to the best steamed dumplings! Its one of my favourites and I re-ordered it again twice to give it as birthday gifts. I am not chinese but everyone loves 'my' chinese cooking !...
