Food Is Love: Chinese Cooking With Local Ingredients

By Tina Maisano

Cooking is passion. Food is love. If your mother or father ever shared a recipe with you, or a book of recipes, you felt the sharing of that love. That book probably didn't have any pictures in it. It didn't need to. The passion, the love, lived in the recipes and in the food that came from them. You knew what salt was and what an onion looked like. The words gave you all the information you needed to cook a meal or a dish. In that spirit, this first edition of Food Is Love contains no pictures; future editions perhaps will. It does, though, come from my heart, and, I hope, resonate with passion and love. While some of the ingredients in Chinese cooking that you may have heard about may sound exotic, it is not necessary to use such ingredients to sample the joys of Chinese cooking. In fact, everything you need can be found at your local supermarket. It is more about the techniques of preparation and timing, combined with some simple everyday ingredients, that make food taste Chinese. Love comes through in sharing food with those nearest and dearest to you. That love extends back to the shopping, preparation, and cooking that go into the process. So take a big breath, pick a recipe in this book, head for your local supermarket - and start to feel the love.
