All Under Heaven: Recipes from the 35 Cuisines of China [A Cookbook]

Vaulting from ancient taverns near the Yangtze River to banquet halls in modern Taipei, is the first cookbook in English to examine all 35 cuisines of China. Drawing on centuries' worth of culinary texts, as well as her own years working, eating, and cooking in Taiwan, Carolyn Phillips has written a spirited, symphonic love letter to the flavors and textures of Chinese cuisine. With hundreds of recipes—from simple Fried Green Onion Noodles to Lotus-Wrapped Spicy Rice Crumb Pork—written with clear, step-by-step instructions, serves as both a handbook for the novice and a source of inspiration for the veteran chef. — Favorite Cookbooks of 2016
