I only was inspired to try one recipe from this cookbook, Stir-fried Chicken with Broccoli and Walnuts, but that recipe is amazing, and the techniques used in it have been helpful for my adaptations of other recipes. I love Chinese food, but the American restaurant versions don't fit with my dietary restrictions of no sugar, wheat, or thickeners. Thanks to this book, I can make it that much better at home.

I m a raw vegan, but this cookbook is very good. You can find a recipes , You will like it :)

good

Meh. Did not love it. Still love Bittman.

I love Mark Bittman, if you haven't checked his weekly videos at NYTIMES.COM out you should. They appear every thursday and they are always SUPER simple. The idea for this book is fantastic, he wants us to understand that you don't have to be a professional chef with a expensive larder to make great food. He does this by cooking with amazing chefs, having them make an amazing recipe (Lamb 6 ways) and then making a home style version that still has the soul of the original dish. (That said, the photos are not good.
This week I am making the frozen persimmons, the unrolled summer roll and chicken stuffed with proscuitto and cheese.

Wish I had time to cook every single thing in this cookbook.

How can I cook

This book is actually addictive.

the boock is very good

This is basically a bunch of screenshots from the TV show with minimal additional content. Pretty lame, you're better off catching the reruns on PBS.

a great collection of recipes and descriptions related to the tv series
