📝 Description: All Under Heaven: Recipes from the 35 Cuisines of China [A Cookbook]

A comprehensive, contemporary portrait of China's culinary landscape and the geography and history that has shaped it, with more than 300 recipes. Vaulting from ancient taverns near the Yangtze River to banquet halls in modern Taipei, All Under Heaven is the first cookbook in English to examine all 35 cuisines of China. Drawing on centuries' worth of culinary texts, as well as her own years working, eating, and cooking in Taiwan, Carolyn Phillips has written a spirited, symphonic love letter to the flavors and textures of Chinese cuisine. With hundreds of recipes--from simple Fried Green Onion Noodles to Lotus-Wrapped Spicy Rice Crumb Pork--written with clear, step-by-step instructions, All Under Heaven serves as both a handbook for the novice and a source of inspiration for the veteran chef. -- Los Angeles Times: Favorite Cookbooks of 2016

While ambitious in scope, this collection may overwhelm readers seeking quick weeknight dinners or specific regional depth. The breadth of thirty-five cuisines means some areas receive less attention than dedicated single-region volumes might provide. It is not suited for those who prefer simplified, fusion-style adaptations of Chinese food. However, for the intellectually curious cook who values historical accuracy and technical clarity, it stands as a vital reference. The tone is scholarly yet spirited, rewarding patience with authentic flavor profiles rather than convenience.
