Chua Lam on Food

"Through diverse culinary techniques and rich food culture, savor the wisdom of Chua Lam's life philosophy.

以多样的美食做法，丰富的饮食文化，品蔡澜的人生智慧。

This book distills gourmet Chua Lam's essential insights on food-wisdom gained through eating. Chua Lam possesses encyclopedic knowledge of both Chinese and international food cultures, from high-end global cuisines to humble home cooking, regional delicacies, and even airplane meals. Whether luxurious or affordable, intensely flavored or delicately subtle, he unveils the marvels and principles within all foods. He observes that the only dishes one never tires of are those cooked by mothers-the taste of home, the flavor of nostalgia. In an age where true quality grows scarce, he advises consuming less. The most exquisite dishes, he suggests, are those that leave you wanting more. Master the art of ""sampling.""

这本书是美食家蔡澜谈吃的精华，也是关于吃的智慧。蔡澜对中外饮食文化如数家珍，大到各国高级美食，小到家常菜、地方菜、飞机餐等，从昂贵到平价，从香浓到淡薄，从食物中他都能道出其中的妙处和道理。他还说百食不厌的是妈妈做的菜，是家乡的味道、怀旧的味道。当今好的东西少了，我们就少吃一点。吃不饱的菜，最妙。学会"浅尝"二字。
