To eat a Chinese meal is to enjoy one of the truly delicious
pleasures of life. The Chinese are artists when it comes to
presentation, seasoning and combining, and their greatest skill is
in choosing the freshest and most wholesome foods, and making the
most of them. Chinese Cookery Secrets reveals exactly how the magic
is accomplished. Written over fifty years ago, this is an authentic
book on Chinese home cooking that is both a practical cookery book
and a work of culinary history and culture that explains Chinese
food preferences and describes the entire culinary process,
beginning with the selection of ingredients and the best way to
shop for them, preparation, Chinese utensils, the merits of
different cooking methods, seasoning and menu composition before
proceeding to the recipes themselves which are classified in
fifteen different categories, displaying the variety of Chinese
edible delights. These include recipes for meat, poultry, game, sea
food, fish, noodles, vegetables and sweet-sour dishes as well as
special sections on chafing dish and sandy pot cookery. The
directions are thorough, and Chan includes social and historical
information relating to Chinese food and cooking throughout the
text, which is lavishly illustrated with line drawings of
ingredients to aid identification when shopping. The variety of
dishes, background knowledge and detailed instructions from start
to finish introduce the reader to a golden age of Chinese home
cookery.
