About this ebook
Chinese is the UK's favourite takeout food, and it's beloved all over the world – as with much Indian food, it's the nostalgic, comforting creations for western palates that really get people salivating. Now you can make your favourite Chinese restaurant classics at home with Kwoklyn Wan's fabulous Chinese Takeaway Cookbook.
Kwoklyn is a third-generation Chinese chef: BBC (British-Born Chinese). He’s also the brother of TV celebrity Gok Wan and both boys grew up working in their family's Cantonese Restaurant in Leicester in the 1970s.
He has spent years perfecting recipes for Chinese dishes that taste like the ones from your local takeaway kitchen or restaurant. The book features 70 classic dishes, everything from sweet and sour chicken to char siu, prawn toast to chop suey, egg-fried rice to crispy seaweed – and most of them can be on the table in 20 minutes or less. Cook up a storm at home with Kwoklyn's fabulous take on food from the takeaway.

I bought this book after becoming a member of a Facebook group called UK Loves Chinese Takeaway - DIY where Kwoklyn Gok is a member. It is a great book with many familiar and not so familiar recipes to work through. Once you have a good store cupboard of staples, you can knock up most dishes with the addition of fresh protein and veg. I only have the ebook version but think I will also purchase a proper copy as I prefer to have that to flick through when deciding what to cook. I would recommend you becoming a member of the group for further inspiration for your Chinese takeaway cooking.
