Chinese Food

an introduction to one of the world's great cuisines

Plot

Chinese cuisine is becoming increasingly popular in the West and in this classic and inspiring book, now revised and updated, Kenneth Lo demonstrates how to cook, eat and entertain the Chinese way. He describes the two main types of Chinese meal, the banquet and the ordinary main meal, as well as the Chinese breakfast and tea or tea-house snacks which are eaten either for tea or for a light lunch. In his own inimitable style he guides us through the various methods of preparing food, cooking dishes and choosing delicious combinations to induce a feeling of well-being and satisfaction, which is such an essential part of a good Chinese meal.
