Reader comments
This one is good. The language is concise and never verbose. The author follows the food from all over the country and explains how to cook it. I have read the physical book, and now I have found it and listened to it while walking, and I have ideas for dinner recipes in my mind...
This book not only provides an introduction to food, but also contains insights into life. Just like what is said in the book, "Everything is done with only a little knowledge." We don't need to pursue becoming experts. Enjoying the process is the most important thing. Mr. Chua Lam's unique views on food reminded me of the warm scenes of cooking with my family when I was a child. After reading this book, people can better appreciate the simple beauty in life.
