Summary: Brought the chef out of me!
Review: Except for the occasional typo where the numbers may not have survived the translation in the Editor's first draft (how much corn starch to use for the Fried Eggplant Cake batter, just to name one), this is by far my favorite and most-used cookbook of any kind in my collection. It is always out on the counter instead of in the bookcase with the others! The Kung Pao Chicken is my favorite, but you'll cut down on the dried red peppers if you are wise. The "Szechwan Peppercorn", sometimes referred to as "Numb Spice", called for in many of the recipes is a very authentic Szechwan ingredient but should be left out for better compatability with Western tastes.I'm ordering more of the series!

Summary: not for vegetarians!
Review: I had hoped that there would be a fair amount of vegetarian recipes in this book but was very disappointed to find precious few.

Summary: Must have for lovers of spicy food
Review: The Wei Chuan series of cookbooks are must haves for anyone interested in cooking Chinese cuisine. I am particularly fond of SzeChwan style food so this cookbook was a natural choice for me. This book has descriptions for preparations of special food items that is very helpful. I especially recommend this book for anyone who loves spicy food (the kung pao recipes alone make the book worth buying). For anyone who wants vegetarian food Sze Chwan style won't be the right choice--I would recommend buying Wei Chuan's Indian cuisine cookbook or their Simply Vegetarian cookbook instead.

Review: Wei Chuan's collection of cookbooks are fabulous. All the recipes are as authentic as it gets. Recipes are easy to follow and it actually TASTES good. I am planning to get the whole collection of Wei Chuan's cookbooks.
