AUTHENTIC CHINESE CUISINE

This book stands out among the many Chinese vegetarian cookbooks available with its innovative recipes for vegetarian "mock meat" dishes just like those you would enjoy in Buddhist restaurants. These recipes are as authentic as possible, without calling for extremely exotic ingredients. And since they're designed for use in a modern North American kitchen, you won't need to purchase special Chinese equipment to prepare them.

From potstickers, savory rice bowls, Shanghai spring rolls and Mu Shu Tofu to North Chinese Sesame Buns, homemade noodles and wonton wrappers, and wheat-free almond cookies, you'll find all of your favorite Chinese dishes. All of these recipes are meat- and dairy-free.

Also includes sections on:

• Regional cooking in China
• Planning a Chinese meal
• Shopping for essential Chinese ingredients
• Met substitutes for the right taste and texture
