Hi Kimfaye. There are tons of recipes on the internet. The fun thing about cooking is you can change the recipe to however you like it. I find the hardest part about cooking lasagna here is finding some good cheese. I find the bbc website recipes to be useful.
Lord_hanson:
I forgot to mention that you can buy lots of western herbs on taobao.
Cooking videos. Youtube, if you're able to get it is a great resource, but there are probably other video websites that aren't blocked here that would have cooking vids.
As the two above said, there are tons of recipes for lasagna, all very easy to find on Internet. If you have a bit of cooking/baking experience, it won't be very hard.
* What you might need is a good electric oven. A cheap 200 RMB piece of crap won't do a good job.
* Buy good ingredients. Imported cheese, and if you use meat, don't go for something with more fat than actual protein.
well, I don't know your background in the kitchen, but you have set your bar high if you are just starting out....
Lasagne, among other things, requires a well-stocked kitchen. utensils, bakeware, counter space, range, oven, fridge, ... that is even b4 you begin moving on to making the dish. Will you buy or make your own sauce ? don't feel bad if u buy it, lots do. what about the noodles? do you know what kind of noodles to buy and where to get them (I'm certain you will not be making your own noodles).
Best wishes and know that fooling around in the kitchen can be a very nice thing; also a great way to get close with family.
keep us posted.

btw: quality cheese is essential. it don't come cheep, even where it is not imported and subject to an usurious import tax.
DrMonkey:
Good advice about the sauce. Actually, it's a good idea to learn to make a good sauce first, and once mastered, using it for lasagna. The sauce can be used just with noodles, so it's not like it's going to be wasted.
diverdude1:
I totally agree. If he/she is interested in la buona cucina I believe learning to make a good sauce is the first step.
you can make it, but it may not be good, the only imported tomato sauce I ever found was terrible. but go for it. I tried making sauce from small unripened tomatoes, yuck. I have made my own noodles by hand at home, wheat noodles are best. I top mine with a cheese sauce. For fillings you can use the things you like mushrooms etc, but I can imagine the first chicken feet lasagne.
Go to Metro supermarket they have imported lasagna pasta (is there anything you can't find at Metro?), then you can fill it with whatever you want.
Whatever you do, use a good imported cheese. There are two things Asia just cannot make, cheese and chocolate.

More than two things. Decent Chinese food, for example.
And their beer is decidedly average, to be generous.
The do have interesting peanuts, however.
