Try "The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook" by Gloria Bley Miller.  There is a large number of very
authentic recipes in this book, from a number of different regions, and all are very well written
and easy to follow.  I consider this to be the 'bible' of Chinese Cooking for the modern American
cook, because it provides the cultural, as well as technical reasons for the way certain foods
were/are prepared in China.  Substitutions are limited, and the author urges you to go out and
find the ingredients which makes a number of these dishes so special.

Very good book.
