Customer Reviews: Insight into Chinese CookingJune 10, 2009 Roslyn(Ashley, UK) Having been given this book as a gift, I wondered if there was a hidden message to me to loose weight and the title didn't entice me start reading.
However, I found it fascinating. It is presented in easy to follow chapters which gradually lead you to understand the complexity of the Chinese attitude toward what they choose to produce and eat. Food is to be enjoyed and celebrated. It is best eaten fresh, with each dish and each meal having a balance of flavours.
I've used some of the recipes and they work. I'm determined to incorporate some of the principles into my diet!!!
I think all that is a strong reccomendation to buy it, read it, use it!
