The Edible Journey Through China

2000
Have you ever wondered about the things you eat for dinner? Where do they come from? Is there any kind of story or legend behind the food you eat everyday? This site is about Chinese food and its customs. It's a topic that few people seem to know about. Even some Chinese people may not know about these customs themselves. Also, we have noticed that there isn't much information on this topic, whether it's in books, on the Internet, or just some little bit of information in the cookbooks. The few books and stuff about this topic that can be read by foreigners aren't really up to date, and some of the concepts aren't totally correct. The books in Chinese aren't any better off. They are hard to understand, and, I'm afraid, quite boring. The aim of this site is to let more people know about and understand Chinese food and its customs in a fun and easy-to-learn way. We hope you'll like this site and know more about the various Chinese customs after you've been here.
