China, to me, is a land of infinite variety and incredible history. In more recent times, its approach to human rights leaves something to be desired, but no one can argue with the importance of its role throughout ancient history.
Choosing a menu was almost impossible! There is an amazing variety amongst the regional cuisines, and I wondered the internet for hours on end, reviewing recipes and reading about the different regions and their histories. In the end, I went with a couple of fairly simple dishes, steamed wontons and a sweet and sour chicken, served with plain rice. A bottle of Tsingtao beer accompanied the meal.
This is yet another country where it is impossible to do justice to its cuisine in just one meal. Luckily, we are all fond of the flavours of Chinese cuisine, and so it is no inconvenience for us to make use of all the different recipes I found!
