Good cooking has been an integral part of the brilliant and ancient Chinese culture from the beginning, but it is only comparatively recently that it has been acknowledged outside China as one of the three great 'original' cuisines of the world.
Perhaps that is because it has only been in our own century that most ordinary people in the West have been able to sample even a fraction of the glory of Chinese cooking - although for most of us the 'sampling' could go on for most of our lives as there is a positively bewildering range of dishes, ranging from the almost universally accepted to the downright esoteric I
There are few people today, for instance, who have not tasted or at least heard of Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Rice, Barbecued Spareribs, Crispy Spring Rolls, Won Tons There are quite a few, too, who know howto make these delicacies at home, for a lot of Chinese cooking is, once one knows how it should look and taste, not at all difficult. Once one has mastered the basic discipline of preparing the food for cooking, it is simplicity itself to do. But of course, there are the rarer gourmet dishes which could possibly prove more expensive and more difficult to assemble - shark's fin, fish lips, turtle's skirt, bear's paw, sea slugs not to mention the very acquired taste one would need to eat some of them ! Through this book we hope you will acquire not only the knowledge of how to cook the best Chinese food - but the taste for it too. Vissza
