168 Better Than Takeout Chinese Recipes - A Cookbook Hardcover – 1 Nov. 2024

This cooking books is very comprehensive and yet user friendly. If you've seen her cooking videos you know how easy it is to follow her instruction. And now she masterfully transform those youtube videos into this book. This is a book written by someone who genuinely wants the reader to be able to re-create the recipes. I wish all cooking books are like this.

This has to be THE BOOK OF CHINESE COOKING.in my opinion nothing comes close.I’ve spent many years going to China and my wife comes from ShanghaiI know Chinese culture and cooking.This book is amazing, it changes the rules on cook books. She is teaching you how to create the recipes you enjoy from restaurants.Every recipe is laid out in amazing detail particularly the construction of the sauces.But the thing that makes this book so good is there is a QR code for each recipe which means you can watch Mandy in a video actually cooking the recipe.That is the game changer.She also has sections on Chinese/asian supermarkets and what to buy.Again backed up with a video tour.I really can’t recommend this book enough.I have followed her cooking on u tube and she has always impressed and inspired me.I am just a customer who bought this book via amazon.It’s expensive but I can assure you it’s worth every penny.

This is a great addition to our weekly meals. I watched Mandis videos and now we have the book. We are very happy and even my kids can follow the instructions.

The recipes are excellent and the printing is good.However, whilst the book arrived shrink wrapped, when I opened it the binding of the spine at both the front and back of the book was split from the book. I will now need to find a way to reattach the body of the book to the cover.Not good given the price charged for a hardback book.
