This superb collection of Chinese recipes has been compiled to suit the Western kitchen without losing authenticity. There are mouthwatering dishes for all occasions from familiar restaurant favourites, such as Duck with Pancakes, Stir-fried Beansprouts, Broccoli with Soy Sauce and Prawn Toasts with Sesame Seeds, to more unusual Chinese specialities, such as Grey Mullet with Pork, and Chinese Jewelled Rice.
Each dish is a harmonious balance of complementary flavours, textures and colours. There are ideas to create a surprisingly easy sumptuous Chinese banquet, liven up a midweek supper or treat the family to a special weekend lunch.
