Every Grain Of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking

"Fuchsia Dunlop’s books on Chinese cooking are authentic, accessible and fun to read. Her latest, Every Grain Of Rice, is sort of like a Joy Of Cooking for homestyle Chinese food, chock-full of delicious, simple recipes. More important, she helps you learn a new cuisine by demystifying the tools and techniques and teaching you how to stock your Chinese-friendly pantry. And because the Chinese diet is often low-meat and flavored with meaty-but-not-meat ingredients like fermented beans, it’s great for vegetarians and vegans. There’s no better introduction to Chinese cooking. I love this book."
