Product Description
A favourite Chinese greeting is Ni chi le fan ma? Have you eaten yet? Unlike many in the West, the Chinese see food not as a chore to prepare and a source of unwanted calories, but as a health-giving pleasure. In 15 short, captivating chapters, Lorraine Clissold explains why the Chinese can eat as much as they want without weight gain!

5 out of 5 stars Insight into Chinese Cooking   June 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!
