Synopsis

The success of Chinese cooking comes from the use of basic techniques rather than exotic ingredients. For centuries Chinese cooks have delighted in preparing mouthwatering meals. Visiting local markets; selecting only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients; and cooking them with simple but effective methods: these are the "secrets" of great Chinese cooks. With this cookbook, you can easily join their ranks, preparing delicious Chinese meals from scratch--and enjoying them yourself in the process. Whether you prefer the spicy flavors of Szechuan food, the excitement of Hunan-style cooking, the delicate dishes typical of Beijing, the tangy tastes of Shanghai, the delectable stir-fries of Cantonese cooking--or all the above--this illustrated cookbook will walk you through the process of creating delicious Chinese meals in your home kitchen. Researched in Hong Kong and mainland China, and in the kitchens of North American Chinese food experts, this book contains a collection of recipes representing some of the tastiest dishes found in both restaurant and home kitchens. The recipes were tested for North American kitchens and written to make sure your first try is a smashing success.
