Why the Chinese Don't Count Calories: Fifteen Age-Old Secrets that Can Change Your Life
Chinese secrets that will change the way you eat, feel and look.
Imagine a way of eating that encourages you to revel in food, that allows you to eat till you are full, that asks you to explore a tantalising range of foods and flavours, but that - far from making you fat - is both delicious and healthy.
The Chinese attitude to food can be summed up in their most common greeting: 'Ne chi le fan ma?' - 'Have you eaten yet?' Food plays a central part in Chinese culture: mealtimes are the high points of the day and yet studies have shown that the Chinese remain slimmer and fitter than we do in the West. Their secret is based on simple and sensible principles. Food nourishes and heals - it is not considered a source of unwanted calories.
In fifteen captivating chapters, Clissold unlocks the secrets of China's food culture. Her own love for Chinese cuisine was honed by years of living and cooking in China. Inspired by the endlessly enticing food, she shows us how the Chinese balance their diet, satisfy their taste buds and allow the ancient principles of Chinese philosophy to guide them to a wholesome and delicious way of eating. Illustrated by examples and recipes that use both Chinese and Western ingredients, this book is a mouth-watering adventure into a little-understood cuisine.
