Summary: A treasure!
Comment: I must have thirty or forty books on Chinese cooking, and most are full of the kinds of restaurant dishes and banquet dishes that aren't terribly representative of what Chinese families actually eat when they dine together. This book is different. It's full of what you might call Chinese comfort food- the food the authors grew up eating, and that reminds them of home. A lot of it is the kind of food most Westerners never get to taste unless they're lucky enough to be the guest of Chinese hosts- food like winter melon soup, or humble food like jook.
Add to that the beautiful watercolors and the authors' stories of growing up together (and eating together) and you have an absolute treasure of a book. No matter how many Chinese cookbooks you may own, you need this one.

Summary: A charming and beautiful book.
Comment: I haven't read the whole book (because it hasn't been published) but I work with Annabel (one of the authors) and have seen many of the stories and got to look at a copy of the book sent to her by the publisher.
This is a book of Chinese recipes and stories about the childhoods and families of Annabel and Ellen (her niece that she grew up with). The recipes often include instructions for how to do things, complete with illustrations. And many have pictures of the end product, also. So even though I'm a pretty cautious cook, I think I might try some of them!
But for me my favorite part is the stories - they really make you feel like you were there, and have a real charm that makes you want them to go on and on. I laughed at some and some brought a tear to my eye -- and some did both!
The book's illustrations were done by Ellen and are absolutely gorgeous -- worth the price of the book just by themselves!
I recommend this book to anyone interested in Chinese food, beautiful pictures, and/or wonderful stories.

Summary: This book rocks!
Comment: Great little stories but the REAL gems are the recipes. Not only do they work, they also deliver in the flavor department!
I've been looking for a good char sui pork recipe since I was a teen. I've tried a bunch and I've been burned by them all, except the recipe in this book. Fabulous (and it freezes well too!)
Great book.
