 When I was 12, I began to help my aunt in the kitchen (this was how I paid for my school clothes and supplies). My aunt was a very famous chef in town. Actually she was like the local chief chef and was invited to cook for all the major events, feasts and wedding parties held in town. She taught me everything about cooking - selecting ingredients, balancing nutrition, 6 key techniques in Chinese cooking, 8 Chinese cooking styles and even table etiquette.
The author, being of Chinese extraction, has been eating Chinese food all his life. A relative was a very famous chef and he learned all he knows both from his Mother and his Aunt, and is now passing this knowledge on to you.
He did publish a cookbook in 1997 which has sold in excess of half a million copies, but now you are going to get the same online.
