Introduction
Collected in this book are ten essays on the art of Chinese cuisine and food culture. Chinese cuisine is not a general and vague concept. It attaches great importance to the color, smell and taste of the food, to the myriad regional styles and flavors and has profound cultural underpinnings. There are Cantonese Cuisine, Chaozhou Cuisine, Min[Fujian] Cuisine, Yunnan Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Xiang[Hunan] Cuisine, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Cuisine(including Yong[Ningbo] Cuisine, Hangzhou Cuisine, Shanghai Cuisine, Suzhou and Wuxi Cuisine), Yangzhou Cuisine, Beijing Cuisine, and even Northeast China Cuisine. Moreover, there is an endless list of innumerable specialty snacks and refreshments. In this collection are descriptions, critiques and memories of those dishes and delicacies that authors and scholars have loved. With their words, they weave great yarns of food and drink, accounts of sumptuous repasts both real and legendary, records of scarcely known secret recipes favored by the elite. It is a veritable panorama of Chinese cuisine.
