Review: I was very happy with this book as the recipes are easy to follow and there were a lot of secrets revealed. The recipes I've tried up to now have all turned out extremely well with everyone's compliments Review: I've gotten heavily into wok cooking recently, and I've purchased many, many stir-fry and wok cookbooks. After working with all of them, and sitting back to think it all through, I have decided that this is the best: In terms of most concise instructions, accessible and not-too-elaborate ingredients, easiest prep work, favorite dishes, and much more. Bottom line is this: Stir-frying and using a wok demands very quick work. If you've not completely memorized your recipe, you need to have your cookbook in front of you as part of your "mise en place". This cookbook fits that bill nicely. The layout is conducive to helping you work efficiently. The directions/instructions, ingredient lists and beautiful pictures are big aids in helping you get ready to prepare the dish. Just to give you an idea of what I am comparing this book to: I have several Grace Young books. They are wonderful, and I'm glad to have them. I've learned quite a lot from them. There are many wonderful recipes that I like in each of her books, but the books are not as simplistic to use as The Chinese Takeout Cookbook. Young's books are large and all-encompassing and work nicely as reference books. Neither the books, nor the recipes, will ever be my Asian go-to books and recipes. I will use the Grace Young books when I have leisure time to browse through the recipes, create a shopping list, and plan a special meal. I also have a few Barbara Tropp books. I like those books as well and have learned a lot of tips from them. But again, they won't be my go-to Asian cookbooks. And they are a bit older and don't have the great pictures that cookbooks have nowadays. Then there are the Ken Hom books: They are a bit too "old" for me, and while his books give me ideas, they don't give me the detailed instructions and pictures that I like. So, my favorite is becoming obvious: The Chinese Takeout Cookbook is the one. It's even got a recipe for Egg Foo Young, one of my all-time favorites, and so easy to make. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #425 in Quick & Easy Cooking #812 in Regional & International Food #7,906 in Crafts, Hobbies & Home | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (411) | | Dimensions | 19.94 x 2.13 x 23.57 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 034552912X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0345529121 | | Item weight | 816 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | 11 December 2012 | | Publisher | Ballantine Books | ## Images ![The Chinese Takeout Cookbook: Quick and Easy Dishes to Prepare at Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NTqj-2lCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***Y on 16 October 2013* I was very happy with this book as the recipes are easy to follow and there were a lot of secrets revealed.
