Preface
In terms of cuisine, there is a considerable difference between Chi-na and the West. Chinese cuisine can be much more individualizedand impulsive than Western cuisine. Although there are recipes tofollow, cooks frequently adjust the seasonings and even ingredientsthey use, according to the preferences and wishes of their custom-ers, which makes each dish creatively unique. Take the cold dishFlavored Cucumber as an example. The flavor of this simple, colddish differs from place to place, depending on local tastes. Peoplein Shanxi Province (in North China) like vinegar, so they will addmore vinegar to the dish; people in Sichuan Province (in southernChina) prefer spicy foods, so naturally they will prepare this dishwith more chilies; people in Jiangsu Province (in eastern China) en-joy sweet foods, and therefore sugar will be the seasoning of choicefor this dish. Though the style of cuisine may vary from place toplace, the pursuit of taste remains the main aim of every region.
