Angela Chang's book is truly impressive. Though I grew up with Asian cooking, I was always intimated to cook Chinese food myself. It seemed something that should be left to experts. After following Angela Chang's book, I found that I could cook as authentically as any pro. The book is easy to understand and to follow; the ingredients could be found in my local Chinese market. My meals turned out delicious, tender and even more savory than in any restaurant. This is Chinese home cooking at its best. After surveying many Chinese cookbooks out there that listed millions of ingredients with very little return, this book was different. I savored every meal and the reward is that I made it myself with the guidance of a true teacher. I recommend this book to the highest degree. After trying it, I felt like I was in a another country but I was right at home.
