I have just started cooking (uni days blah) and this cook book makes me feel like a chef! The recipes are simple, yet amazingly tasty, and there are many tips and helpful guides.

You will be amazed at how much better home made food is compared to take away!

This is an excellent cookbook. Great recipes with clear instructions and very useful extra bits such as the menu planners which tells you, for example what meals are quick and easy and which make a good dinner party menu etc.

I particularly recommend the mango chicken recipe, - it's delicious.

As a chinese, I'm always a bit disappointed of the take away food, they are kind of weatern chinese taste. I bought this book because I want to prove my cooking skill( mom always cook at home, but she's in China, I'm in UK. Can't call all the time). I can't believe how easy and how great it is!! I tried a few dishes already, I can even get the ingredients easily from local super-market. The way He-Huang "cambo" the food is amazing! You can feel the "balance" of the food-healthy, tasty,beautiful... I can't wait to cook tonight....highly recommended. You will impressed!!!
