TASTE OF CHINA

This is a guide to China's culinary heritage, with around 90 recipes that have been gleaned at first hand from the cities of Beijing and Canton to remote regions of Yunnan and Sichuan. The dishes range from simple family fare to lavish banquets of meat and fish. Set in context they allow glimpses into Chinese kitchens whether on peasant farms or of the Chinese Imperial Court. Ken Hom has also written "Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery" and Leong Ka Tai has been published in "Great Rivers of the World", "China", "The Long March" and "Beijing".
