If you're hungry for good food but short on time I hope this is the book you'll love. I am a believer of fresh flavours and simple ingredients and my collection of all-time favourites and exciting new dishes are waiting for you to cook and share. Why order a take-away when you can deliver your own in minutes? While I was writing Chinese Food Made Easy, there were so many recipes I wanted to include but couldn't. So I have collected and compiled them in this book and it is packed with quick and easy recipes that you can make in 30 minutes or less. You can make all the delicious healthy recipes nearly always with everyday supermarket ingredients. My recipes are as varied and I've tried to balance my all-time favourites, such as Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken and Cashew Nut Stir-fry and Hot and Sour Soup, with exciting new authentic dishes such as Exploding River Prawns, Hunan-style Hot Pink Pepper Chicken and Chongqing Beef. For more special days when you have a little more time on your hands there is an Easy Entertaining section complete with menu suggestions and time-saving tips. I really hope this new book will inspire you to cook Chinese and give you new fresh ideas whether you are a beginner or a professional. I hope will find it handy when you need to base your cooking around the time available! |

I love this book and I loved working on the TV show. I was challenged to re-invents the nation's favourite Chinese dishes, modernising them with fresh, easy-to-buy ingredients to demonstrate how healthy, light and simple Chinese cooking can be – it was certainly a challenge and loads of fun. Some of the recipes were inspired by my cooking experiences with the British public from all walks of life with a passion for good produce and delicious Chinese food. The recipes from my BBC TV series, Chinese Food Made Easy, are included in eight chapters (with over 100 recipes and ideas) ranging from Take away Favourites, Spicy Sichuan dishes, and Dumplings, Dim Sum and Noodles to Fish and Seafood dishes, Street Food, Celebration Food, Desserts and Drinks and Side dishes. Throughout the book I've included cooking tips and basic techniques, including all you need to know about using a wok. As with all cooks, we all need some inspiration and I've included some of my stories and recipes collected from my trips to China so I've tried to share a bit of Chinese culture too. I also devised a menu planned to help you make it easy to put together an authentic Chinese meal and I hope you will find these authentic, hassle-free dishes a joy to make in your own kitchen. |

"CHINA MODERN" -Modern Chinese food has come a long way from the traditional favourites that we order by rote from our local takeaway. As China opens up to the West as well as the rest of the East, its culinary traditions have evolved to create a new and exciting cuisine that can best be described as fusion. In "China Modern", I explore these new influences and challenge conventional perceptions of Chinese food. I look at how dishes have been reinvented, drawing on inspiration from Japan, Thailand and Vietnam as well as Europe. My 'Peking Duck Sushi', for example, fuses a traditional Chinese dish with classic Japanese presentation, while my 'Steamed Sea bass with Stir Fried Spring Onions and Chillies' demonstrates the breadth of cooking style in regional China. Healthy eating has also become more important and cooking techniques are moving away from deep-frying to steaming, pan-frying, boiling, grilling and even baking! I share some home cooked dishes from the less well-known provinces in China such as Hunan and Sichuan (most of the food we know as Chinese originated in Hong Kong) as well as how those takeaway favourites can be cooked at home. "China Modern" traces an exciting culinary journey; one that I hope you will explore with me! |
