This is food individuals long for and will need to make over and over. Combined with the couple's #1 plans, the photography impeccably encapsulates the eatery, making this book a souvenir for gave fans.

I love cooking, I love good food, I love eating at Myers & Chang, and I’m a big fan of Joanne Chang, but I’m not excited about this cookbook. Why? The recipes are too complicated for a casual home cook. What gets me the most is seeing a recipe that I think is easy enough, then seeing that there’s a sauce or accompaniment that I don’t have key ingredients to make or is itself too complicated to make. Prime example is the Asian pizza. One of the “ingredients” is 1 cup Chili-Tomato Jam. Guess where you find that? Page 310. Surprise! Another full recipe that requires at least an hour and another lengthy list of ingredients. I flipped through and I think I flagged two or three recipes to try when I’m feeling adventurous and/or have loads of time. I’ve had this book for over a year and that time hasn’t come. I’m not giving up on the cookbook, but it’s definitely not one of the ones I keep within easy reach. --Lara

I went to Myers+Chang restaurant and must have ordered one of everything on the menu. I had to have the book. I made the Lemony Garlicky chicken soup and it was spectacular. I've added to my "favorite" soups. I plan to cook my way through the book. --Ritha

have been running through the recipes with my family and they are all pretty solid. Some of them have become staples. Make sure you have a source for asian groceries, but otherwise the recipes are straight forward and none of the preparation is too hard. Definitely recommend for those who like Asian cuisine and are comfortable in the kitchen --Kenneth Marimoro
