Culinaria China Cuisine. Country. Culture
A culinary journey through Chinese cuisine
Culinaria China takes the reader on a culinary voyage of discovery. Our authors and photographers have peered over the shoulders of China's cooks in many different locations, ranging from the night markets of the big cities to village kitchens, discovering the modern crossover cuisine of Shanghai, guiding us through the world of dim sum, exploring the specialties found in the provinces of China's interior and providing us not least with an opportunity to reproduce authentic Chinese delicacies back home in our own kitchens.
Culinaria China introduces us to the country's main styles of regional cuisine, covering a wide variety of local specialties from all over the country-from southern China, the melting-pot of cooking traditions, to the rich coastal provinces and Imperial Palace cuisine of old Peking; from the country's remote northern provinces to the appetizing specialties of Zhejiang and Guangdong; from the hery hot Sichuan cuisine to the exotic dishes from China's desert regions.
Culinaria China, like a Chinese banquet, is a feast of variety and surprises. But what is a banquet actually like? And why does eating play such an important role in Chinese culture? How did dishes with such colorful names as "Beggar's chicken" or "Ants on the tree" get their titles? Culinaria China contains the answers to these and many other questions, not to mention a vast amount of additional background information and a wealth of surprising facts-it is this that makes it far more than just a cookbook. It is intended that presenting the individual recipes within a cultural context, supplemented with information about the country and its people, will make it possible to recapture their original flavor, typical of their respective province.
