      The recipes, were delicious and very easy to follow. Chinese food, is my most favorite cuisine to eat on a lazy night and I don’t like too many restaurants because of the msg in their food. I always thought that Chinese food, was impervious for home cooking, but after moving to an area where the best Chinese was subpar, I decided I should try. The only advice that stuck with me was, to get everything ready before you start cooking as the recipes go quick. One car trip to the Asian grocery for a few staple ingredients and everything else has been a quick pick from the grocery store from here all out. I am now more comfortable with the various sauces and spices chefs on television just wings it most of the time.
      The recipes are easy to follow and well-explained.

      The resulting dishes actually tasted pretty good! I have experienced with many substitutions, and the recipes lend themselves very easily to get used to on what’s on hand/available. I recommend this book. From the recipe instructions to the explanation of ingredients, I was able to make something tasty for dinner from day one.

    Yes, we're open! Please come on in.

    Greetings, we would like to welcome you to Excel Cooking.

    Now this might not be what you expect like most cookbooks out there because (naturally) there is no way we can cover every dish under the sun.

    Our approach is not to overwhelm you with choices, but rather give you the finest options available to choose from to get your feet wet. Don't be surprised if they're not the most common food items that you think of since we're going for a more authentic route.

    These recipes were specifically chosen for a reason to give you real hands-on experience.

    Each cuisine requires different cooking techniques and method, and the goal is for you to build that foundation to the point where you can customize and tweak the selections however you like for more intricate fancy dishes.

    More importantly, rather than simply know how to cook, it's about understanding the cultural practice and the handling of the food itself to really excel in this particular area of cooking.

    We recommend that you at least attempt all the dishes (if you can).

    Enjoy your meal!

    STARTERS

    I. The Great Taste of China

    Who amongst you is familiar with the Chinese way of life?

    We can assume very few of you are experts, or you probably wouldn’t be reading this right now to discover more about the Chinese culture. And we’re sure at the top of your list of things to learn about is—their food.

    Actually, as much as we all love Chinese food, the Chinese are also very fond of their foods as well. The Chinese people have sort of a personal pride when it comes to their cooking.

    For example, if you were to go to any Chinese restaurant and order Chow Mein, and then order the same thing from a second restaurant, the difference between the two dishes can be quite apparent to the right taste buds. That’s not just because one restaurant knows how to make it properly and the other doesn’t (although that can happen, too). In any given restaurant, the recipe can differ based off which ingredients that chef wants to present for a specific dish.

    While the food is not as much a point of national pride as it is in other Asian cultures, the Chinese still do love to show it off.
