Excellent book; should have more of other Asian/Chinese veg
This is a beautifully crafted book with wonderful photographs. It's an excellent book even for Chinese. My only complaint is that I wish Lo San would have included more vegetables in her book. There are a lot more other Chinese vegetables she hasn't included. Some of those absent are from the fungi family (if that's a vegetable!) and other Chinese green leafy/root vegetable.

Really a good little find. Nothing too over the top, ...

Great recipes, gorgeous photos
The day I received this cookbook I was so inspired I went out and bought all of the ingredients for and then prepared the "Thai Curry" recipe. It was excellent.

Be prepared to find what many inexperienced cooks may find as ...

The most necessary book in your kitchen
I came across this book in a discount bin. I have since bought this book for 8 of my friends. The title is misleading; this book includes everyday vegetables and their nutritional and medicinal values. If you want to eat healthier this is the book for you. It contains fruits, vegetables, beans and recipes. I often take this book to the grocery with me because the book also has pictures and ...
