Warning - this book contains meaty recipes!

Has anyone got this book, by Fuschia Dunlop? It looks amazing, full of delicious looking Chinese recipes, 2/3 of which are vegetarian - I'd say most can be veganised pretty readily. Some of the meaty ones could be veganised by using seitan, etc. I can't wait for the weekend so I can get cracking trying out a few recipes - the fish-fragrant aubergine (vegan recipe) looks amazing.

Any recommendations?

I read her "land of plenty" and have a few recipes that i veganized. i love this type of cooking.

My omnivorous boyfriend has it, and likes it. It's not stuff that I would cook for myself, but it's all damn tasty.

I wish Amazon had a "Look Inside" feature for this. It sounds like Every Grain of Rice has real potential but I'd really like to see a sample of the book before buying. Tigerpants, I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've had a chance to try out some recipes.

Me too.

Great, I'll keep you all informed!

I borrowed this from my library, and it's excellent. Lots of fresh ways to cook up vegetables, and mostly all very simple. I really liked this book. This is the kind of Chinese food I enjoy most. It's normal home-cooking, not Americanized, greasy-style Chinese food. I highly recommend giving it a try!
