Great cookbook
I have collected a number of Chinese cookbook of the years, but this is probably the best one I've ever bought. I was able to get rid of a few other Chinese cook books, because this is so exhausted. She does not dumb down ingredients, and she has two whole chapters on techniques. It is beautifully put together. Don't expect any photographs, But there are plenty of illustrations.Read full review

As Hollow as a Bottle.
This a large book said to be the BEST out there by several people who are not Chinese. Yet I found it lacking in many ways in that it has no receipes for such dishes as Egg Foo Young, Pork Fried Rice, Pork Lo Mein, or Moo Goo Gai Pan. There is only scant mention made on two of theses dishes. What a complete waste of my money it was in purchasing it. I've found far better Chineses recipes on the Internet via You Tube. It may be a rare book and long out of print. But I think that is a good thing. Don't waste your time and money seeking a used copy.Read full review

Technique book.
With the internet full of recipes at your fingertips, I rarely buy actual cookbooks anymore. However, I keep technique books; otherwise, I go online. Kuo's, The Key To Chinese Cooking is a technique book. She will teach you how to cook Chinese food by following along in this book. It is excellent.Read full review

The only Chinese Cookbook you need!
Back in college, in the 70's, this was the book that taught me how to cook! I purchased this copy to replace a deteriorating, much-used, and much loved version. The newly purchased book was in excellent condition and should serve me well for the next 30-40 years! Read full review
