Any advise?
As a bonus, I'm also looking for a children's chinese writing or calligraphy style book for my little nieces. I bought them a full writing set when I was in China a few weeks ago but I'd like to get them a book as well to learn how to write some of the chinese characters and provide them with some of their meanings. Everything I've been able to find so far has been a bit too advanced for a 10 year old.
Thanks in advance!

For authentic Chinese cook book, you might have to find one written in Chinese. I have never seen a Western produced book I would consider authentic. Also, a lot of our recipes were past down from our parents and grandparents, who learnt them from the generations before
Good luck with your search
