Wonderful Chinese cook book
I was looking for a cook book with relatively simple recipes that I didn't have to go to the Asian market all the time to find ingredients for. The recipes are in English and in Chinese (which I figure is a good sign in a Chinese cook book), and are generally simple, easy to make, and the ingredients are often inexpensive, too.
All of the recipes we have tried so far have been delicious, have taken less than 45 minutes total to prepare (often less than a half hour), and our children have LOVED them, too. This isn't a book that only gives you versions of typical Chinese take-out (although there is a beef with broccoli and a couple of great chicken stir-fries); the recipes tend to be more homey and healthy. We've enjoyed it a lot.

Instructions too brief
This book has great pictures but the instructions are almost too simple. For a beginning cook, it is hard to follow the brief instructions.
