Firstly I'd like to sincerely thank the authors for achieving what they describe as an ambitious task, you achieved it. I have searched long and hard for an encyclopaedia of Chinese cuisine. Written by Kei Lum Chan & Diora Fong Chan published by Phaidon. Phaidon seem to be on a crusade to create encyclopaedias on world cuisines. A crusade worth fighting and so far they've produced some outstanding books written by brilliant authors with lots of contributions from local cooks. Having bought Thailand the cookbook & India by Phaidon I've not bought a takeaway and struggle to find decent restaurants. This book is beautiful, quality paper with gold edging. The book is over 700 pages presented with a variety of photographs and a really insightful introduction and explanation of regions, ingredients and cookware so on. Generally there are two recipes per page, there are no filler pages or excessive pictures to pad the book out. The recipes are easy to follow and there is a good variety of recipes for each meat, veg or seafood etc. Like any good cook book this is relevant to all levels of cooks. Like I say the authors and publishers have worked hard and with passion to create what is a rarity in Chinese cookery a book that is an encyclopaedia. The subject matter is varied and offers great opportunity to cook something different. Go on a exotic culinary adventure and buy this book, you won't regret it! It's cheaper then a boring and takeaway. I have really enjoyed this and would defy anyone to find a similar quality book, Phaidon seem to believe in high quality and set a market standard. These books will become very collectible in the near future. I also have Phaidons India by Professor Purpesh Pant & Thailand the cook book. Please Phaidon produce books on Japan, Vietnam, Burma, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos and Korea. I live in the Uk and use 'Thais R Us' in Canterbury as my walk in store and to get advice from the lovely staff, if they don't have it I use the following online stores. All of these stores are cheaper and better then any major supermarket. wing yip starry Asian supermarket Tradewindsoriental store Amazon keeps removing web addresses so search for the above.

Gute Rezeptesammlung.
