A home cook’s cookbook…[ Every Grain of Rice] shows how with some good produce, a decent pantry, and some basic technique, Chinese cooking is no harder or more foreign than making a plate of pasta or building a salad.’– Max Falkowitz, Serious EatsMs. Wang is a young woman from Shandong, now living in Beijing. According to her, the reasons behind ‘clean your plate’ are understandable. Rice is an essential part of Japan. Not just the Japanese diet, but also the country itself. Beyond being the staple food source for centuries, the meaning behind this simple grain has been deeply ingrained in Japanese society for generations. But what is it that really makes Japanese rice special or different from the rice of the rest of the world?

The peppercorns should be lightly toasted and then finely ground using a mortar and pestle before incorporating into the dishes. The diversity of the dishes―and their simplicity―makes this a remarkable book.’– Jenn Garbee, LA Weekly I get the impression that if this had been written by a TV chef then it would have been called 'How to Cook Chinese' or, perhaps, 'Easy Chinese Cooking'. It wasn't though and the title is one of the best I've seen for a cookbook in recent years - The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook was another great title and that, too, was by Fuchsia Dunlop. That book focussed on Hunan cuisine, just as her first, the far more simply titled Sichuan Cookery had also focussed on a region she knew well. Highly educated, Dunlop attended Sichuan University as well as Cambridge and SOAS and was the first Westerner to train as a chef at the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine. Her knowledge of her subject is encyclopaedic but it's her passion and her writing skills that really make her books shine.
