Kenneth H. C. Lo Knihy

Chinese cuisine is becoming increasingly popular in the West and in this classic and inspiring book, now revised and updated, Kenneth Lo demonstrates how to cook, eat and entertain the Chinese way. He describes the two main types of Chinese meal, the banquet and the ordinary main meal, as well as the Chinese breakfast and tea or tea-house snacks which are eaten either for tea or for a light lunch. In his own inimitable style he guides us through the various methods of preparing food, cooking dishes and choosing delicious combinations to induce a feeling of well-being and satisfaction, which is such an essential part of a good Chinese meal.

Chinese cooking is flexible, economical, wholesome, and nutritious. A Chinese menu provides a balanced meal at low cost, with few calories and little cholesterol. The Chinese way of eating is and expression of the peacefulness and harmony of community life - the best aspect of chinese culture. Basic aspects of Chinese cooking - the utensils, techniques, and ingredients - are presented with recipes to illustrate each point. Chinese cooking is based on the use of a small amount of savory food (meat, fish or poultry) to flavor a large amount of bulk food. Fast cooking retains nutrients in food. Seasonings and flavoring ingredients are often strong-tasting like onions, garlic, and ginger with soy products the only flavoring that is not as familiar to Western cooking. Suggestions on menu suggestions, top international restaurants, foodstuff and equipment suppliers and an explanation of festivals are included. Recipes are included by geographic region.

Kenneth Lo, einer der bekanntesten Experten der chinesischen Küche, erklärt den Umgang mit dem Spezialtopf, verrät die besten asiatischen Rezepte für Fleisch, Fisch, Gemüse, Reis und Nudelgerichte und zeigt, wie auch europäische Gerichte im Wok gelingen.

Parmi les meilleures cuisines du monde, il faut compter la cuisine chinoise. L'auteur simplifie son apparente difficulté en expliquant clairement les différentes techniques de base. Les plats uniques sont ensuite présentés; puis quelques recettes typiques des quatre grandes régions culinaires de la Chine: Pékin, Chang-Hai, Canton et Sseutch'ouan. Les photographies illustrent la manière chinoise de présenter chaque plat.
