Gok Cooks Chinese Hardcover – September 1, 2012

Love his recipes.

If you want a cook book that has recipes you can use without any prior knowledge of Chinese Cooking, to produce meals that have big flavours with healthy ingredients so you don't clog up your arteries, then this is the book for you. And it's easy enough to use the recipes to learn principles that you can apply to different ingredients. The only suggestion to ignore is that you use a cleaver to chop food if you have always been used to standard kitchen knives. Gok can handle a cleaver with expertise, because he was brought up with using one. But if you haven't, then stay away from this blade unless you feel you have too may fingers and would like to lose a few.

Authenticate with a few ingredients so that the list is not overwhelming and the end product tastes as you would want

I bought this for my sister for Christmas after getting a copy for myself.I've made about a dozen dishes from the book, and all have been delicious. The garlic chicken, and steamed buns are my personal favourites. But the fried rice is also excellent. Lots of beautiful illustrations, clear and easy to follow directions, and explanations of different falvourings make this book very accessable to folks who haven't got a lot of experience cooking Chinese food.

I found this to be a great cookbook. It was very easy to follow with simple recipes. We have already tried the green beans - delicious.

excellent

Great product

VERY GOOD PRODUCT

I was reluctant to try to cook Asian dishes as they seemed so complicated and I thought I would be disappointed with the results. This book is a super introduction to Asian cooking. Easy to follow instructions, to produce flavourful dishes. Thank you Gok for giving me the confidence to cook Asian.

LIVRO EXCELENTE.

Easy to follow instructions. Simple recipes with few ingredients. You need to get a stock of basic sauces, but you will use them over and over again as they are used in several recipes in the book.

Livro já conhecido. Comprado para oferta, vale a pena.

Gok's cookbook, is excellent, lots of photos, stories, great illustrations, and recipes. It's not just another cookbook, that will get shoved to the back of the cupboard, it's one that is a keeper, and one that I read from cover to cover.
