'Delicious and authentic Chinese food made clear, easy and accessible. Brilliant' Jamie Oliver

Want delicious, healthy and authentic Chinese food at home without relying on a takeaway? Then look no further. In Every Grain of Rice, internationally renowned Fuchsia Dunlop is inspired by the vibrant and healthy home cooking of southern China, where meat and fish are enjoyed in moderation and vegetables play the starring role.

Many of the recipes require few ingredients and are brilliantly easy to make, so try your hand at blanched choy sum with sizzling oil, Hangzhou broad beans with ham, pock-marked old woman's bean curd or steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, or, if you've ever in need of a quick fix, Fuchsia's emergency late-night noodles.

With a comprehensive introduction to the key seasonings and techniques of the Chinese kitchen, as well as the 'magic ingredients' that can transform modest vegetarian ingredients into wonderful delicacies, this is an essential volume for anyone who wants to master Chinese food at home.

Focusing on what Chinese people eat at home, Dunlop offers healthy, cost-conscious and delicious recipes that are easy enough to make midweek
