I found this cookbook at a yard sale and was immediately drawn to its technicolor-like food stylings on each page. "Chicken with Lychees" pitted against Ming Dynasty vases and others with jade statues and steaming tea services ready to be sipped from. In the 80's, I would have chopped up the pages to make collages for "mixed tape" covers for friends. Now, it proudly rests on by cookbook book shelf with sticky notes on the recipes for Honey Chili Chicken, Mongolian Hot Pot, and Barbecued Pork. These are the basic greasy wok fired classics that I have recently mastered from this resource.

This cookbook provides beautiful pictures of the Chinese dishes and the ways to make them.

I picked up this book in Hong Kong during a trip in 1997. I still dip into it today for some truly fantastic Chinese recipes. It is great in providing both ingredients and food prep instructions.

Easy to follow, easy, healthy recipes, good variety and plan to make many of these; it's basically a stir-fry cookbook

There's something fun about going through a cookbook that has been forgotten until the attic or garage is cleaned out. It's from 1980 and I love the selection of recipes and photos.
