Summary

"The greatest secret is that food can take you home wherever you are. It gives you a sense of identity", explains Vivienne Lo. From the noodles and dumplings of Northern China, with its sauces flavoured with leeks and garlic, and the Mongolian lamb, seafood and vegetable hot pots flavoured with piquant sesame dips to the lotus leaf wrapped parcels of rice and fish of the south, a fantastic range of unique flavours from the many peoples of China are explored. Vivienne, the writer, and her sister Jenny, the chef, come together to share the tender experience of all their "secrets" learnt through the collective memories of the Lo family and in particular their gourmet father, Ken Lo. As a family they have assembled an inspiring range of Chinese dishes to enjoy at home. Book jacket.
