Chinese Home Cooking Cookbook - Cantonese Recipes

Additional Details

Description: Like the Chinese language, Chinese food is something all to itself. It has its own poetry, its own prose, its own oratory, and its own earthy proverbs. What it says is always good -- often beautiful. It all depends on how the ingredients are combined. 

Chinese cooking started in ordinary kitchens. The familiar images of exotic court banquets or the opposite extreme of fried rice and long noodles are only the north and south poles of an entire world of cooking. In between lie the pleasures of the food people enjoy at home -- both simple, everyday fare and those special things for festive occasions. 

This book is for people who like good food. Here are over one hundred Cantonese recipes selected by a Chinese housewife and mother, representing the dishes she knows her family and guests enjoy, and presented for everyone who likes to cook and for all who like to eat at home. The author's philosophy is simple: Cook the ingredients just right, put them in the right sauce -- and you have a Chinese dish.  

Chinese cooking is a way of expression that remains as valid today as the words of China's ancient sages. It is a way of saying beautiful things, whether simple or grand. It all depends on how you put the ingredients together.
