"Never before has there been a Chinese cookbook with a greater wealth of insight and illustration nor one with recipes of such originality and authenticity. From 'Precious Concubine Chicken' to 'Pockmarked Mama's Beancurd', 'The Complete Chinese Cookbook' takes you on a journey of culinary discovery of over 500 recipes as diverse as the regions they come from.
Eating is a celebration of life, say the Chinese, part of an eternal pursuit of health and harmony. This pursuit and the vast variety of Chinese foods and dishes have combined to make Chinese cuisine a huge compendium - a culinary dictionary - out of which menus can be composed with the same limitless creative range as a writer's stories. 'The Complete Chinese Cookbook' takes the reader behind the recipes and demonstrates how simple it is to be creative and inventive with Chinese cooking methods and ingredients.
The illustrations, of which over 160 are in colour, include 80 dishes photographed exactly as a Chinese cook would prepare them and introductions to each regional cuisine specially photographed in China by Nik Wheeler."
