Condition: Brand New Format: Hardcover ISBN: 9781408802526 Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Overview: Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking by Fuchsia Dunlop celebrates the vibrant, healthy, vegetable-led cooking of southern China. Drawing on years of research and first-hand experience, Dunlop presents recipes that are simple to prepare yet rich in authentic flavour. This hardcover edition suits home cooks who want fresh, balanced meals inspired by real Chinese kitchens rather than takeaway staples, making it a genuinely useful addition to any cookery shelf. About the Book: Every Grain of Rice takes readers into the everyday cooking of southern China, where vegetables take centre stage and meat and fish are used sparingly to add flavour rather than bulk. Fuchsia Dunlop, who trained at a professional Chinese cooking school, distils decades of experience into recipes relying on accessible ingredients, clear step-by-step methods, and quick techniques such as stir-frying, blanching, and steaming. The result feels achievable on a weeknight yet deeply authentic in flavour. Dishes range from stir-fried greens and fragrant braises to noodle dishes, soups, and rice classics, all explained with the practical detail that demystifies Chinese cooking for a Western kitchen. Dunlop's writing goes beyond the recipes, offering insight into Chinese food culture, ingredient substitutions, and the philosophy of balance underpinning southern Chinese cuisine. The hardcover format suits a book intended as a long-term kitchen companion, with sturdy binding built to withstand repeated use at the stove. Home cooks wanting more plant-forward meals without sacrificing flavour will find this especially rewarding, as will anyone curious about the real traditions behind one of the world's great cuisines. It rewards both cover-to-cover reading and years of dipping in for inspiration, and has become a genuine modern classic among cookery writing. Key Benefits: Written by an international
