    Introduction

    Chinese cuisine is widely seen as representing one of the richest and most diverse culinary heritages in the world. A meal in Chinese culture is typically seen as consisting of two general components: typically rice, noodles, and two accompanying dishes of vegetables, fish, meat.

    Chopsticks are the primary eating utensil for solid foods, while soups and other liquids are enjoyed with a wide, flat-bottomed spoon.

    For most dishes, Chinese food is prepared in small pieces (e.g. vegetable, meat, doufu), ready for direct picking up and eating. A family would not consider using knives and forks at the table, due to fact that these implements are traditionally regarded as weapons.

    Fish is usually cooked and served whole, with diners directly pulling pieces from the fish with chopsticks to eat, unlike in some other cuisines where they are first filleted. This is because it is desired for fish to be served as fresh as possible. A common Chinese saying including head and tail refers to the wholeness of the display of food.

    At a meal, each individual diner is given their own bowl of rice while the accompanying dishes are served in communal plates (or bowls) which are shared by everyone sitting at the table, each diner picks food out of the communal plates on a bite-by-bite basis with their chopsticks. The food selected is often eaten together with a mouthful of rice.

    Chinese meals do not typically end with a dessert or dessert course, instead, sweet foods are often introduced during the course of the meal with no firm distinction made. For instance sizzling sugar syrup coated fruits such as banana or apple are eaten alongside other savory dishes that would be considered main course items in the Western world.

    In this cookbook you will find an amazing selection of Chinese food, that include appetizers, soups, noodle and rice dishes, and fish, chicken and meat recipes.
