Reviews: My Students' Favorite Chinese Recipes
A fan of Norma's book for years!
Reviewer: "thegazan" (Somerville, MA)
"I bought Norma's first book (My Students' FAVORITE Chinese Recipes) on a whim while killing some time at a book store. I didn't think much of it until one day when I felt inspired to make some Chinese food. The book was well organized and her instructions are straight forward. I used that book for many years and it has become worse from wear as I consider it the foundation for most of my Chinese food cooking.
I just purchased the Updated Edition on and am looking forward to thumbing my way through it in the years to come. Keep them coming Norma!"
No better introduction to Chinese cooking.

"One beautiful thing about this book is that by stocking up with a few staples of the Chinese kitchen, beginners can easily prepare dozens of delicious, crowd pleasing dishes and meals. Once these staples are on hand, shopping for and preparing meals is a snap. I have owned a wok for over ten years, and this book inspired me to use it on a regular basis. Thank you Norma!"
Her classes are great, too!!

"I attended one of her Chinese cooking classes, and she is a wonderful person!! Even though I thought I don't have many cooking skills, she makes it easy and fun!! She was there to help me all the way, and the end result was delicious!! If her book is even HALF as good as her classes are, this book is a MUST HAVE!!!"
Helps even the culinarily challenged make delicious food!

"Before I got my hands on this book, I was convinced that I could not cook. Norma's directions are straightforward, her prep suggestions cut your cooking time significantly and her tips ensure success. I look forward to making these delicious dishes and sharing them with friends and family (to rave reviews from both). I would also recommend this book to anyone who loves Chinese food as it will help you recreate the real deal at home. Stop wasting your money on take out! Norma can help you make it at home."
