Features: China's delicious dishes number over 10,000, and the creators of many of them are not necessarily professional chefs. Among them are emperors, officials, literati, and common people who appreciate fine dining. The creation process of each dish also varies in interesting ways—some were developed over generations by renowned chefs, some were the result of someone's sudden inspiration, and others were accidentally discovered by chance. This book selects nearly 80 exquisite dishes, introducing not only their ingredients and cooking methods but also recording the legends and stories associated with them. Readers can enjoy cooking and tasting these dishes while also sharing amusing stories with family and friends to enhance the dining experience.
