Features: New Sichuan Cuisine, which represents a new phase of development in Sichuan Cuisine since 1996. Renowned as the "foremost among the four great culinary traditions," Sichuan Cuisine has gained worldwide fame.

This book compiles 864 signature dishes from over 20 representative enterprises in the Sichuan culinary industry, all crafted by master and renowned Sichuan chefs. It represents the most comprehensive collection and showcase of New Sichuan Cuisine to date.
