Chinese Takeout Cookbook: Favorite Chinese Takeout Recipes to Make at Home Kindle Edition

I am very disappointed . I love Chinese food from take out places. I want to learn how to cook these foods. This book has recipes with ingredients that are never in these foods. Chow mein is mostly celery. I've gotten take out chow mein in many different states and it is always mostly celery. The recipe in this book for chow mein has NO CELERY and has soft noodles. Take out chow mein is always served on crispy fried noodles. The Wonton soup recipe calls for star anise , cinnamon , fennel and all the other ingredients that are in Vietnamese Pho soup. Wonton soup has none of those ingredients .I will probably send it back.

Great cook book! I am part of a cookbook club so we tried about 8 dishes and they were all great! Only catch is a lot of the recipes call for 1 tablespoon of like 10 ingredients, so be prepared for that. But once you have them you can just make more Chinese food! :)

I love the recipes. I've tried 3 now but perused many others and plan to try many more. The ones I've tried really do remind me of Chinese takeout. Plus, I get to leave out the ingredients I don't care for (not a fan of bell peppers). The recipes are easy to follow.

I enjoyed looking at the photos of the food. This book has simple and step by step directions. It also has many delicious recipes. This Chinese cookbook has a few recipes I have been searching for for many years. Finally, I will be able to enjoy this Scrumptious Chinese meal I had over 37 years ago. Thanks to this author sharing these recipes I will be able to reminsce of old times and begin a journey of delicious taste testing the food outlined in this book. Hopefully it will be as beautiful as the pictures in this book. Look forward to reading her other cookbooks and experimenting in the kitchen.

I haven't had time to actually make anything from this cookbook, but that's no reason not to give the book 5 stars. I've thumbed thru it, like a lot of the recipes inside the book when I order take out. We moved to a location that has no Chinese take out restaurants, so I thought I'd just try it myself. I got the kindle verson, and don't sit down to read cookbooks like I would a novel, but everything seems well presented and lots of recipes I want to try.

As always, looking for recipes that I have not seen/made before. Found two I will make again & again; the Shanghai pork chops, the egg drops soup (had not tried this before, like the simplicity) and I also plan to make the beef with garlic sauce.

I made a few really tasty recipes so far using this book. I hope to try more in the future. Great recipes with easy instructions. Full of pictures and I have shared many of them with friends.

This cookbook has a number of my favorite items in it, and they are not difficult to make.

Got a refund. Thought it was rubbish. Didn't have any of the Chinese food in that we get from our takeaway, and it's all in black and white.

great book and lovely recipes - would recommend.

Good chinese takeout

Unhappy that Black and White photo's in book. Impression was colour photographs. Would not have ordered if this was clearly stated

inspiring cookbook - looking forward to making lots of these
