Features: Chinese culinary techniques have a long history and are renowned for their excellence. The Eight Great Cuisines each have their unique characteristics and are celebrated far and wide. There are numerous books on cooking, but those specifically dedicated to banquet dishes are scarce, and most focus only on Northern cuisine. China has long been hailed as the "Land of Etiquette," and the Chinese people have always cherished the virtue of being warm and hospitable. Even gatherings with family and friends are incomplete without hosting a banquet. Due to China's vast territory and diverse ethnic groups, regional cuisines vary greatly, with an endless variety of dishes. It is not convenient for people to select their favorite banquet dishes easily and accurately, which is also a practical issue. To meet the needs of families hosting home banquets during holidays, gatherings, and celebrations, we have compiled this "Banquet Dish Cookbook." This book collects over 300 dishes, including stir-fries, stews, pan-fries, deep-fries, and more from various cuisines such as Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, and Beijing. It also selects nearly 30 dishes for each banquet according to local customs. This way, you can choose satisfying banquet dishes based on your preferences, the number of guests, and their tastes. The book aims to make things convenient and time-saving. Following the principles of deliciousness, ease of preparation, accessibility, and variety, it is organized from high-end to budget-friendly, and also includes Northeastern specialty dishes and Halal dishes. To ensure everyone enjoys the meal, the book also provides multiple tips for lightening the drink, allowing you and your friends to relax and enjoy yourselves.
