Synopsis: If you have watched the accompanying BBC2 television series Chinese Food Made Easy you will already be enchanted by Ching-He Huang. She has a very easy approachable style, as she re-invents the nation’s favourite Chinese dishes with easy-to-buy ingredients to demonstrate how healthy, light and simple Chinese cooking can be.

All the recipes from the series are included in the eight chapters, we loved the Sichuan Orange Beef, the Zesty Chilli and Garlic Tiger Prawns, the intriguing Empress Dowager Cixi’s Longevity Peach Pudding, and the delicious Almond cookies with Ginger and Vanilla ice-cream.

Throughout the book there are cooking tips and basic techniques, including all you need to know about using a wok, and a handy menu planner.

We loved this beautiful book, it contains over 100 healthy recipes, absolutely sumptuous photography and easy to follow instructions. Ching also gives an insight into Chinese culture as a background commentary to her mouth- watering recipes. This is an inspiring book, highly recommended for all lovers of Chinese food.
