Table of contents where recipes are broken up into meals.
Colorful pictures and introduction about stir frying and other Chinese cuisines. 
Origin and History are also included by food category.
Like the section on how US has adopted this method of cooking for healthier options.
Benefits of eating at home vs. restaurant are listed.
Each recipe starts with a title, cook time and serving size and calories.
List of ingredients and there are MANY, be sure to line them up first before you start cooking.
Directions are given and there are NO nutritional information.
Only chapter heading has a color photo NOT individual recipes.
 Recipes do NOT always start at the top of a page.
Not really impressed because of NO pictures.






The Central American Cookbook: authentic Central American recipes  by Book Sumo Press
Colorful pictures and table of contents where recipes are not listed in any specific formation.
Each recipe starts with the country that is being focused on: title, English translation of the dish
To the very far right corner are prep and cook times, servings, and nutritional information: calories, fat, NOT broken up into good or bad, cholesterol, sodium, carbs and protein.
In main body of the page is the list of ingredients and how to make the dish.
There are NO pictures of the recipes.  Do like seafood recipes, wish they were not scattered all around the book.
Way TOO many colorful full page photos, it could have been it's own book as no food is generally shown.

Some nutritional information: calories, fat NOT broken up into good or bad, carbs, protein, cholesterol and sodium.
Mai page has list of ingredient sand there are a lot of them per recipe.
Directions are given. There are NOT individual photos per recipe. 
I feel all the color photos could've been another whole book there are that many in this book.
Kind of takes away from the recipes when they are not showing the food dishes but scenery.
Lots of choices to choose from.
