In the companion book to the popular television chef's new series, Yan travels throughout his homeland from Beijing to Canton, exploring all the regional fare in between. The recipes that resulted from his trip are authentic but unintimidating versions of mostly homestyle Chinese food, with some restaurant and banquet dishes and typical fare from street vendors as well. Instructions are clear and concise, with simple line drawings of techniques, and there are lots of sidebars on food and culture, along with a lengthy ingredients glossary. Hints of Yan's antic TV personality appear in some of the sidebars, but in fact this is a serious and approachable culinary guidebook. For most collections.Book Details
