SWEET MANDARIN:CLASSIC & CONTEMPORARY CH Reviews

With the Sweet Mandarin Cookbook, we want Chinese food to be as accessible to all as possible and that is why there are options for allergen free or to come as close to. 1 in 100 people have Coeliacs disease and the statistics is higher for those with gluten intolerance. We can cater for such dietary requirements and want this cookbook to also do the same. -- Ken Choy Yahoo, 5/7/2014 Twin sisters Helen and Lisa Tse, the culinary force behind the popular Sweet Mandarin restaurant in Manchester, UK, have deftly translated their dishes for home cooks of all skill levels (and diets). Their first cookbook (Helen penned an award-winning memoir also titled Sweet Mandarin, 2008) gives cooks all the necessary tools to prepare popular Chinese takeout dishes like hot-and-sour soup, lettuce wraps with chicken, and a variety of stir-fries in their own kitchens. And there are plenty of modern twists (and lush food photography) inside, such as chile chocolate macaroons, Asian-style burgers, and sweet Mandarin barbecue ribs. Even better, the Tses offer gluten- and dairy-free options for each recipe, along with personal and historical anecdotes. Also indispensable are the sections on Chinese cooking tips, stocking a pantry, and purchasing cooking supplies. For those who have the local Chinese takeout place on speed dial, this will become a much-loved book. -- Heather Lalley Booklist, 7/1/2014 This feels like exactly the introduction to Chinese cuisine cookbook that I've been looking for: completely approachable and with a real sense of fun! Most of the recipes will be recognizable by anyone who's been to a Chinese restaurant recently and the ingredients can be easily found at any grocery store with Asian foods section even one with just a small selection.Helen and Lisa Tse come from a long line of Chinese chefs their grandmother opened one of the first Chinese restaurants in the UK after immigrating in the 1950's. But although they're restaurant owners, the dishes and the recipes feel solidly rooted in the home cooking space. This is reflected not only in the weeknight feel of the recipes but also in their awareness of dietary needs; if the recipe isn't naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, or egg-free, variations are offered for each circumstance. The Kitchn, 6/19/2014 Sweet Mandarin is a nicely done cookbook with great instructions and pictures. I have a few standouts tabbed for trying. I made the Peninsula style chicken with cashew nuts but changed it up a little - it was really delicious. The instructions are written clearly and the ingredients were not difficult for me to find here in Denver. Most ingredients, if not accessible easily in your Asian section at the market, can be ordered online. One of the things that I loved about this book is that it does have a small dessert and cocktail section. Many Asian cookbooks have very limited recipes on the sweet side. -- Jenny Hartin Mad Rantings of Andrew's Mom, 9/15/2014
