You get exactly what the title says - recipes for Chinese takeout. The book doesn't claim to give recipes for authentic Chinese food; it's aim is for those of us who enjoy the food we can get from our local Chinese restaurant.

After a quick trip to a local Asian market to stock up on some basic Chinese condiments like oyster sauce, black vinegar, soy sauce, chiles, etc. the recipes are easy to make. The directions are very clear and easy to follow.

My entire family has enjoyed these recipes and we look forward to trying many more.
