Joyce Chen Cook Book

Joyce gave my mother a copy of this amazing book in 1963 when my parents were married. The recipes are wonderful and easy. I remember using the book with my mom as a child and now use it with my daughter. This is a must have for any cook who wants a taste of what we grew up on in Cambridge in the 60's and 70's- all of these recipes are still relevant today.

We have used the Joyce Chen Cook Book for 35-odd years and still rely on it regularly. It is full of tasty, authentic Chinese recipes, but they please the Western palate also. It contains classic, solid, proven recipes. You can skip the MSG.

These recipes are the favorites on every Chinese Restaurant menu. Written for the American cook who does not live near a Chinese grocery store. Warning - M S G is an ingredient in every recipe - just ignore it and recipes work fine.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks and my absolute favorite chinese cookbook. Every recipe is a hit with guests and family. Excellent guidelines for selecting equipment, selecting ingredients, and developing oriental cooking techniques. A must for anyone who wants to cook authentic chinese!

This cook book has been a family favorite since I was a small child. Even my asian friends prefer the egg rolls I make from this book to their time honored family recipes. Well worth the back order wait.
