Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was so impressed with this book's layout and recipes. Each page is in full color, and every recipe has photos of what the ingredients look like, what each step of the process looks like, and what the finished product looks like, including garnishes and attractive presentation.
For example, for Egg Rolls, she first has a large photo of the finished product, then the ingredients list and photos of everything used. Then there are photos of the eight steps used in making the egg rolls, from making the batter of the wrapper to making the filling, how to roll them so they look nice and stay closed, and then finally a picture of how she fries them in the wok, with a neat wire attachment on the wok which holds the egg rolls just after you remove them from the oil.
In many books of ethnic cooking, the descriptions are accompanied by illustrations or maybe one photo. So if I have never heard of a tool or ingredient before, I have to look it up or ask someone, which often discourages me from trying something new on the fly. This book is arranged so that anyone can make dim sum meals with readily available supermarket ingredients, even if you have never tried anything like that before.
I am very, very impressed with the layout and multiple full color photos on every single page. I have tried two recipes so far and have enjoyed them both very much, so it gets high marks there, too.
