I'm interested in the cha siu bao (pork buns) recipe but the recipe for the pork filling itself is questionable (you just don't make these with "roasted pork", you need to start with pork tenderloin and oven-BBQ it, Canadian Living magazine knows that) so that throws the dough, which surprisingly contains both yeast and baking powder and supposedly can be baked or steamed, into question. Then I see that the hot sour soup contains potatoes (!!) but no bamboo shoots -- is it supposed to be a substitution? And making congee (jouk) by boiling the rice in salted water, just no.
The xiao lung bao (little steamer-basket dumplings -- not little dragon dumplings as I mistakenly thought for years) look worth trying. The recipe carefully explains how to get the soup into the insides, which is always a mystery to diners and much less obvious than getting the caramel into the Caramilk.
Some of the Amazon reviewers mention a plethora of errors in the recipes, whether from typos, proofreading issues, or lack of actual testing. Eg. a cup of oil to fry a few scallions when a tablespoon would probably give better results. So it might be well to have a second cookbook close at hand to compare.
