About the content of this blog
I live in China now and grew up in Sichuan province.During my early childhood; I had two great cooks around: my mother and her mother. Grown up, I travelled around China and I enjoyed the yummy dishes from many different cuisines. Thus I write this blog, introducing my favorite dishes and sharing everyone with the happiness of cooking for those you love. I will focus on Sichuan cuisine and may introduce other Chinese cuisines too. I spend a long time in exploring Sichuan cuisine, Shanxi cuisine and Cantonese cuisine including 4 years at university.
I want to use this experience to introduce the world traditional authentic Chinese food. Although I enjoy many different cuisines,Sichuan dishes are the ones I love serving my family the most – and hope you will experience the joy of cooking them for your loved ones, too. That’s the reason why I name my small blog as China Sichuan Food.

Hi, I am a French chef, back in France after thirty years spent in the USA,
where I took inspiration from Californian, Mediterranean and indeed from your country and especially from the Sichuan area.
I found your site very well done and providing many insights on your way of cooking.
My site is chefpaul.fr I wrote a book “Cuisine et Anecdotes” unfortunately it is written in French.
Best Chef Paul.

Thanks for this lovely comment. DoDo. You get a lovely name. Happy cooking.
When I need help, I visit your website. You are a treasure, Xiao Elaine. You understand the importance of sharing Sichuan food (“chuan cai”) with the world. I spent several months in Chengdu teaching English in the Jiaotong Daxue many years ago. Your recipes are authentic and practical! Keep up the good work.
