Review: Oustanding Cookbook - I have watched Mandy since she started her channel on YouTube. I've printed individual recipes and made notes on Chinese cooking techniques. When this cookbook was announced I assumed it would be a collection of her YouTube videos. I was amazed that the book is far more comprehensive and detailed than I could possibly have imagined. The pictures are abundant, clear, and enticing. The recipes are arranged to be on two facing pages so you do not have to turn pages. Only in a couple of cases for more complicated recipes like Sichuan Spicy Poached Beef is there a third page. Each recipe has prep and cooking time at the top and the number of people that the recipe will serve. The recipes have a QR code that will direct you to the associated video so you wach Mandy prepare the dish. I find that watching a chef prepare the dish always makes it easier to prepare and cook. I have followed numerous YouTube Asian chefs and purchased several cookbooks on Asian cuisine, but I always find myself returning to Mandy's recipes because I have never been disappointed with the results. The instructions are crystal clear and the explanation of techniques allow me to apply concepts to dishes that I compose myself. Apart from the great recipes, this book will help change me from someone who follows recipes to someone who knows how to cook Chinese food. If you make the recipes in this book, you will never order takeout again.
Review: Amazing Cookbook. - This Book is So Amazing! It is so well written and organized. Every detail in order, great instructions and a picture of every recipe. There are so many recipes. This book is so good I bought 2 more for each of my daughters. The beginning of book details each and every Chinese utensil or appliance that they use and also details every spice and condiment that you will ever need. This is definitely the Only Chinese cookbook you will ever need! You don’t need to look no more this is definitely the Best!!!
