Summary

China is home to one of the world¿s most delicious and highly respected cuisines and, with its emphasis on fresh, healthy ingredients and quick cooking, also one that is highly rewarding to emulate at home. A selection of over 150 mouthwatering recipes include established family favourites such as piquant Hot and Sour Soup and crunchy and more-ish Mini Spring Rolls, as well as less familiar recipes including dainty Pork and Nut Dumplings and light and elegant Braised Carp in Ginger Sauce. The book also explores the ingredients and traditions of the cuisine in a dedicated directory of the Chinese kitchen. This section looks in detail at the tools that are unique to the Chinese chef, and the varied ingredients that make up the fine balance of flavour, texture and colour in Chinese cooking. Lavishly illustrated throughout with over 250 beautiful photographs this is an excellent resource for any cook looking to expand their culinary repertoire, to put away the takeaway menu and fully experience the delights of home-made Chinese cuisine.
