Yuji Wakiya's impressive creative talent in serving authentic Chinese recipes and ingredients has revolutionized the perception of that nation's cuisine. He has taken food that has been too often seen as a take-out staple steeped in artificial additives and given it layers of delicate, subtle flavour and a sophisticated and elegant touch, resulting in what can only be called "Haute Chinese" cuisine. Wakiya's unique style - as it is captured in this book - comes from the combination of his deep knowledge of Chinese food and culture and the Japanese aesthetic for an always stylish, yet refined presentation. Commentary and information on each recipe and its ingredients is supported by additional material: ranging from the medicinal properties of certain ingredients, for example, to making elaborate stocks and sauces from scratch, reconstituting dried Chinese ingredients, and the importance of high heat to the making of tea. Over seventy dishes are presented in this Wakiya cookbook, each of the dishes also reflecting Wakiya's creativity and originality though his selection of antique dishes from all over Asia.
