The Heritage Of Chinese Cooking

Food & Drink

Elizabeth Chong’s The Heritage Of Chinese Cooking distills generations of Cantonese know-how into one inviting hardcover, its 1993 vintage pages richly illustrated and wrapped in a protective dust jacket. Asian-cuisine lovers will recognise classic street-food favourites alongside banquet showpieces, each recipe framed by the chef’s family stories and practical kitchen tips.

This copy carries a gentle inscription and shows the mellow patina of a well-loved cookbook: occasional page spots, a couple of dog-eared corners, and a few pencilled crosses beside dish titles—small reminders of meals already explored. The binding remains solid, making it a ready reference for weeknight dinners or weekend projects.

Ideal for collectors of heritage cookbooks or home cooks eager to master authentic Chinese flavours, Chong’s trusted voice turns unfamiliar ingredients into everyday staples. Add this illustrated edition to your kitchen shelf and let its time-worn charm inspire your next stir-fry, dumpling session or festive feast.
