    August 25, 2003: I was afraid of chinese cooking until I found this book. In true 'For Dummies' fashion it explains chinese cooking so clearly that anyone who wants to learn it will have success. The recipes and instructions are easy to follow. It is an excellent beginning that will give the cook the confidence to try other chinese cookbook authors.
