Food is not fodder

the unforgettable

Dongpo's meat - an invention of a great poet, Dongpo Su , and named by him. Remember it's a kind of cooked meat invented by the poet, not the real flesh of the poit's :-)

Peking toasted duck - If we cook a well-nurtured duck for 3 hours and then throw out 90% of it, can the rest part of it not be wonderfully wonderful?

Shanghai green vegetable - Every family in Shanghai cooks it, and every bowl is so delicous!

Jiaxing Zong Zi - Jiaxing, and especially, Wufangzhai in Jiaxing, makes great Zong Zi.

My own inventions

Throw-all - It's a test of one's common sense, intelligence and creativity. The cooking method is simple: throw everything that is available and that you think makes sense, into the pot, and boil. Depending on your skill, that can be a masterpiece, or a nightmare. But be sure not to make it a poison.
Honey egg mix - mix some raw fresh eggs with quite a lot honey. This dessert tastes quite good.
