Looking for a James Beard text for my fiancee as a Christmas gift. My sister is a fan of James cooking, purchasing his books and cooking recipes for our family. My fiancee loves to cook i the area of stir fry, grilling and loves wines. Is there any books that James has written or is in his repetoire that features these. All suggestions would be deeply appreciated. My email address for replies is psanders@ascendww.net. Thanking you in advance.

Kian,
This is a great article, I do agree that chinese cuisine, esp the exotic ingredients should be promoted and rightly so.

It is true that other cultures do ‘push’ their exotic ingredients much more than chinese foodies do. Take spanish iberico hams for example, ok it’s not as far fetched as eating dog, but still, it’s exotic and it’s marketed as something that is of great value and exquisite taste.

Here in the UK, there is an impression that chinese food is sweet&sour meats , peking duck or fried rice…. but it really is so much more than that.
Sharks Fin’s & Abalone is an absolute rarity and even steamed fish with soya sauce & ginger is not widely sold in restaurants here.

That’s why I think this blog here is such a gem, the world deserves to know just how much variety there is to chinese cooking.

I’m looking forward to this series of posts!
