    Best comprehensive introduction to Chinese cooking
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2016*

This is probably the most comprehensive introduction to Chinese cooking. The author puts special emphasis on ingredients, equipment, and technique. He wants you to understand the "how" and "why" behind everything, which makes him a wonderful teacher. The photography is also to die for, and it's obvious from the recipes and photos that the author is a real master of Chinese cooking.The types of recipes in this cookbook are for the types of dishes that you might find in a fine Chinese restaurant. Many of them are something quite special and better than the typical versions that one might eat at any small restaurant in China. Instead, these are the sort of dishes that would be available at an expensive restaurant or hotel. However, I should emphasize that the dishes are not so difficult. It just means that you may have to stock your cupboards with some extra spices and sauces (no big deal).For those who are looking for the very simple dishes that one might find in anyone's home in China, I would recommend "The Cultural Revolution Cookbook." That book does not have dishes that are so elegant and special, but they are more authentic to the type of simple home cooking found in kitchens all across China. Many of those recipes have only like 3-4 ingredients, and no special preparation, just as we would see from farmers out in the countryside. There is something beautiful about that type of simplicity too.For those who want to try making some really great and special Chinese dishes, including learning all sorts of neat techniques, I recommend this book. For those who just want to learn simple dishes for home cooking, I recommend "The Cultural Revolution Cookbook." Each book has its domain and does its thing perfectly.Finally, Kian Lam Kho's enthusiasm and passion for cooking really shine through in this book. The author genuinely cares about teaching you in the very best possible way, and teaching you everything you would need to know about the techniques and reasons behind everything. It's really an unbeatable comprehensive introduction to Chinese cooking.

    Kian Lam Kho has come out with a great introduction to making quality Chinese style food at home.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015*

Book arrived as I came home from a long day at the industrial bakery. Took a short unwind time and started to read the book.I didn't need recipes for chicken or duck feet, however, scanning the index we saw the the Mapo Tofu (p211)  and the Steamed Stuffed Tofu (p261) made me run out to the Kogers and purchase what we didn't have at home.It was a welcome end to a long day and the beginning to more long missed Chinese dishes at home.Thank you Kian Lam Kho!We loved the Mapo Tofu using ground beef instead of pork, it was better than what we could order take out.The Steamed Stuffed Tofu made us think we were back at Hop Kee or On Luck back in NY Chinatown.Our Friend Duck Wong would smile on Braised Whole Duck on page 212.The book is very well written, shares culture along with the recipes.It has brought back many happy memories of eating with the cooks and wait staff at the end of the evening.This is a great companion to our collection of Huang Su Huei's of cookbooks from the 1970's.The recipes reminded me of the earlier day's when I would fix equipment in my friends Chinese Restaurants, where the cooks would teach me simple things after I finished the repairs.It is fair to say that my Wife and I enjoy the book and it's collection of recipes.Let me know if you agree with my feeling and opinion of this great book.

    Great and concise cooking technique book with awesome production value.
  

*by V***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015*

At first I was confused about the lack of photos for each individual recipe, a finished product photo if you will, but a glance at the table of contents and the title cleared the confusion. This book is ultimately about Chinese cooking techniques. The techniques are center stage here, not individual ingredients or recipes. In the large world of Chinese cuisine, there are countless recipes with their own variations. You only will need to know the vast variations of red cook pork recipes to know that to be the case. There is really no way to put them all in. Thus Kian Lam Kho focus in on the techniques.As the book stands right now, it is in a very convenient size packed with various recipes per cooking technique for you to learn and master. With these techniques and knowledge on how to use them, you can apply it to any ingredient. From what you can learn, you can cook phoenix claws and jade trees.As for the other traits of this cookbook, I think the other reviewers got it covered. I should note though, the attached red ribbon bookmark is such a nice touch.
