Did you know that more than 10,000 Chinese dishes have been created so far, but not only by professional chefs? Kings, emperors, officials, scholars, and ordinary citizens alike have all contributed to the creative process involved with Chinese cooking - and still some recipes have been discovered by pure chance alone. The nearly eighty entries in this book not only list the ingredients and methods of preparation of each dish, but also tell the stories associated with them, giving people an opportunity to become acquainted with some fantastic tales while trying superb flavors. In simplified Chinese characters and English.
