 What makes food Chinese - Whatever the arguments about the greatness of Chinese cuisine,
it is undeniable that certain features make the food look Chinese, smell Chinese and taste Chinese.
Regional Chinese Cooking - China is a vast country and as such as exposed to extremes of
both geography and climate. This naturally results in the growth of different agricultural products, so it is little wonder that cuisines vary from province to province.
Even though there has never been an agreed view on the subject, many cookbooks divide Chinese cuisines into eight main streams: Peking,
Shantung, Kiangsu, Anhwei, Kwangtung, Fukien, Szechuan and Hunan; others analyse the sub-regional cuisines within some of these provinces.
