Authentic Chinese ingredients are now available all year round, not only from the China towns in our major cities, but also from our local supermarkets. In this title the renowned expert on Chinese food, Deh-Ta Hsiung, introduces and describes over 100 ingredients in great detail and provides at least two recipes for each ingredient to demonstrate its versatility. Each page is illustrated with cut-outs of each ingredient in its many forms, cultural pictures of China and recipe photography.
