Story
About this book
Chinese Cuisine by Huang Su-Huei is a practical cookbook that covers a broad selection of popular Chinese dishes. The book was the first in a series of cookbook titles by Huang, who became known for her detailed approach to Chinese home cooking. It is organized into sections that address the tools, techniques, seasonings, vegetables, and specialty ingredients common across different styles of Chinese cooking.
Each section is designed as a reference, giving readers clear explanations before they begin a recipe. Guidance on utensils and cooking methods helps newcomers understand why certain equipment and techniques matter, while the ingredient sections introduce items that may be unfamiliar outside Chinese kitchens. This structure makes the book useful both for following specific recipes and for building a broader working knowledge of Chinese culinary practice.
Huang Su-Huei based her work in Taiwan, where she developed and tested recipes for an international audience. The book has remained in use over many years, serving as a starting point for people approaching Chinese cooking for the first time and as a reference for those returning to confirm proportions, substitutions, or technique.
