7 March , Sichuan hot pot
The mouth - watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China , and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon . I gave it my first try last night , together with a few local friends . As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table , its surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies , Sichuan peppers , spring onions and red oil .

Slowly at first , and then faster and faster , we tipped plates of fresh meat , fish and vegetables into the pot . The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation , making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends .
Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp , foggy climate in which they were invented . They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters . In the beginning , the delicious dish was made simplyby boiling vegetables , chillies and Sichuan peppers in water .

12 August , Nanjing salted duck
Salted duck is Nanjing ’ s most famous food export . Served plain in thin , white slices , the meat is juicy and salty . Each Nanjing salted duck takes several days to prepare , and the process includes salting , drying , boiling and cooling . As I finished my first helping on a recent afternoon in Nanjing , my host , Chef Zhang , told me a little more about the dish .

The countryside around Nanjing has been famous for its ducks for centuries ; its countless waterways make waterbirds . A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted duck in particular , saying it was without equal . Traditionally , duck is considered to have cooling properties , soit is appropriate for the hot summer months . Nowadays , people eat salted duck all year round and it is estimated that tens of thousands of ducks are consumed every day in Nanjing ! It definitely hit the spot when I tried it , andit has become one of my personal favourites .

The Cantonese do not hurry over their breakfasts , as I found when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou ’ s old city centre this morning . The emphasis is rather on conversation about business , family or pleasure , and locals can spend hours together chatting ,drinking tea and working their way through the menu .From beef balls to rice noodle rolls , there are various dishes that have been baked , boiled , steamed or fried . A single visit is not enough to appreciate everything , and I have a long list of dim sum I still need to try .
