Hoisin Chicken with a Celery Salad : page 112
Delicious, sticky and lightly spiced chicken thigh pieces with a green bean and celery salad, dressed with soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and rice vinegar. I find it quicker and easier to fry the chicken in a pan, rather than bake it in the oven. This method also results in a thicker, tastier sauce.

Chinese Custard Tarts : page 230
The custard curdled while the tarts were cooking in the oven, probably because of the temperature (200 deg. C) and the amount of egg yolks (5!). Next time I will pre-cook the custard or use a different recipe.

Beef Salad with Orange Dressing : page 69
A refreshing salad of grilled beef, red onion and blanched asparagus and sugar snap peas with a herby orange and ginger dressing. The dish is substantial enough for two persons as a main course served with steamed rice. One negative was the overly oily orange dressing. I plan to reduce the amount of olive oil (and perhaps increase the red wine vinegar) next time so that it is more tangy.
