Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking

Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking by Fuchsia Dunlop is an acclaimed and accessible cookbook that reveals the beauty, balance, and simplicity of everyday Chinese home cooking. Moving beyond the rich, restaurant-style dishes often associated with Chinese cuisine in the West, Dunlop focuses on the vegetable-forward meals, quick stir-fries, soups, and noodle dishes that form the foundation of daily life across much of China. Featuring approachable recipes, practical techniques, and guidance on essential ingredients and pantry staples, the book empowers home cooks to create authentic flavors with confidence and ease. Both an introduction to Chinese culinary traditions and a celebration of thoughtful, ingredient-driven cooking, Every Grain of Rice showcases the elegance and resourcefulness at the heart of the Chinese home kitchen.
