Chinese Restaurant Menu Recipes (Restaurant Recipes)

Rating:
Summary: Not the Chinese food I was looking for but still good...
Review: I think it was naive of me but I expected to find recipes from the Chinese restaurants I frequent in the United States. The author lives in England and apparently their restaurants are different from ours. I was thinking there would be recipes for Almond Chicken, chow mein, barbequed pork, etc. Not in this book. The recipes do sound delicious (some examples: Fish Strips w/corn and straw mushrooms, Tea-smoked roast duckling, Bang Bang Chicken, Ginger Beef with Snow Peas) but not what I was expecting. Also, she calls for belly pork and I have no idea what that is. A good cookbook, recipes look easy enough, just don't expect Chinese-American recipes.
