You learn the everyday tools and techniques—the wok, the steamer, cutting, sauces, broths—then move through the eight great regional cuisines and the dishes people actually crave: Peking duck, dumplings, hot pot. It also shows what food means at festivals and family gatherings, from moon cakes to birthday cakes. If you want to cook Chinese food and understand why it matters—rather than a plain recipe collection or an academic food history—this is it.
