“There are seven essential things in life: firewood, rice, oil,
salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.” So goes the ancient Chinese
proverb. So far, so familiar, perhaps … but Handa Cheng is keen to
change our perception of Chinese food, and shed light on a cuisine
that is rich and varied, with unique ingredients, techniques and
traditions. In this comprehensive guide, Handa introduces the
vastly different culinary regions of this immense country and their
speciality dishes, from Mouth-watering chicken to Mapo tofu to Yu
Xiang aubergine.From luxurious imperial fare to frugal vegetarian
recipes of Buddhist monks, Handa distils 5,000 years of history and
food culture into 14 simple chapters, with easy, fresh recipes that
are packed with “good to know” tips and memories of his childhood
in Wenzhou. Step-by-step recipes help you learn the essentials,
while 35 illustrated chef’s tips and techniques uncover key
ingredients and cooking methods. Feature pages get to the heart of
each chapter: tofu as a blank page, the infinite possibilities of
an egg, Chinese food and herbal medicine, street food and dining
out, and even the ceremonial practice of tea-drinking.In The Guide
to Chinese Cooking, Handa explores taste, texture, and spice to
recreate authentic family dishes that are well-balanced and
seasonal – all with an emphasis on everyday cooking and eating.
