About the author

I am Elaine, the owner, cook and photographer here.

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.

    Thank you Elaine, for your wonderful work sharing authentic Sichuan food recipes! i was looking for a new recipe to cook Lotus Root and found your China Sichuan Food blog. the Kung Pao Lotus Root is DELICIOUS: tangy, spicy and numbing and tingly on the tastebuds with excellent balance and easy to make, even for a home cook like me. i and my family loved it.

    i am an American of Chinese heritage and although my elders left China more than 100 years ago, i still enjoy real Chinese foods (and have been very fortunate to travel within China too). Thank you for sharing your culinary expertise in easy to follow instructions and beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing in English, since i do not speak or read Chinese. unlike other commenters, i find everything you write in English very easy to understand. Cheers to your good work!

    Elaine, did you do the interview with Hattie Wong of Lincoln Park High School in Chicago? i saw her request in the comments section so i am wondering if you will share the interview too? i am originally from Chicago too, so i am a little curious.

    i look forward to exploring more of your recipes, ma po tofu is next! (or dry fried string beans?)

    kind regards and well wishes to you,
    Carol in California

    Hello, I love your recipes!

    There is no clickable link for the Dong Po pork knuckle recipe, this is one of my favourite dishes- can you make your recipe available?

    Many thanks,

    Hi Elaine, love your website. Cook so much of your food.

    Do you have a cookbook? I would love one with the recipes on this site.

    If you don’t, is there one you’d recommend?

    Thanks,
    Alan

      Alan,
      I don’t have a cookbook right now. If you need to get a book, I recommend Fuchsia Dunlop’s The Food of Sichuan.

    Hi, love your website and have used many recipes over the year to impress my Chinese wife.

    Do have a question and request. My wife is pregnant with our third child due in a couple of months. In the past her parents came by and cooked pregnancy approved dishes, namely heavy on the rice wine vinegar and containing lotus root and red beans. For this upcoming child, due to the virus/ travel ban, they may not make it in time.

    Wanted to see if you have any of the typical Chinese post-pregnancy dish recipes or have any resources where I can get them myself. I’m a fairly decent cook all told and not afraid of the efforts required. Happy wife is happy life.

    Thanks and will continue to enjoy the site regardless.

      Congratulations Thomas! When I was during my pregnancy, I loved sour dishes a lot. There is no dishes especially designed but you can make salad with vinegar like Okra Salad with Black vinegar and this one Chinese Blanched Vegetables . In addition, you can add vinegar in wonton soup or noodle soup to create a lovely sour taste.

    Self-isolating from the coronavirus in the south of France, I decided to teach myself how to make some Chinese dishes. It’s a cuisine I’ve long loved, and was able to indulge in Toronto, Canada, which has 4 China towns, but my husband has been a bit reluctant. I have converted him to stir fries, and, for me, your blog has been a revelation. So much work – not just recipes with lots of photos, but many tips on how to treat ingredients, as well as background on the dish in question. Thank-you so much, and ***** stars out of 5 from me!

    Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful recipes on this site. So far I’ve only tried one, but I want to try more. Sichuan food is my FAVORITE. And I recently moved to Boise, Idaho (USA) where there is not a ton of Sichuan food yet. So I need to make my own.

    Thanks for the great photos and wonderful recipes. You are awesome!

    Thank you for sharing your authentic Sichuan recipes with us. I think sometimes when people try to do recipes that are not from their culture, they add things or do things that change the recipe, so it is nice to have someone who is right in the middle of the culture to tell how to do it right. Keep sharing with us, please!

      Trisha,
      I will. In recently days, I am quite occupied by the family staff because of the young daughter. I will get more chance and time for food outside as she grows up. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
