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.

Dear Elaine,
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful recipe page!
I already have recreated several of your recipes at home and most of them came out quite perfect.
I like that the list of ingredients is not too complicated and the cooking way is explained clear and step by step.
Many years ago a travelled a lot in China (as a tour leader) and I really miss authentic Chinese food now. And my favourite are Sichuan and Yunnan food.
So looking forward to try many more of your recipes and thank you again.

Hello Elaine!
I am writing a product development proposal about functional fried milk and I decided to use your recipe. I just want to ask for your surname for proper citation in my paper. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Dear Elaine,
having spent a year and a half in Shanghai spending lots of time discovering little restaurants with authentic taste your recipes help me make my dream of cooking chinese food here in Germany. I even have a sichuan pepper tree in my garden, that’s how much I love sichuan food. LOL. Can’t wait to try many of your recipes.
Thank you so much for posting them here.

Good Eating everybody x
Thank you Melissa for such a lovely and sweet feedback. Dan dan noodles is absolutely fabulous!! Happy cooking!
Hi Elaine. Thanks for putting this website together. I’ve been trying the recipes for the last few weeks and they are sooo good! Your site is a really informative and gives some great of insights into lots of new igredients and flavour combinations I’ve not tried before. It makes me feel like I’m closer to cooking authentic Chinese dishes at home, even though I’m miles and miles away in cold northern England. Keep it going! I look forward to reading your recipes, and cooking more spicy Sichuan food to get me through a long wet winter in the UK
Will,
This is such a lovely comment and really made my day. I always feel too far away from my readers since I am based in China, comparing with other bloggers. And it seems meat in person is so hard and hopeless. Reading this comment make feel that you are just around, although we are miles away. Thank you dear and happy cooking!!
What a thrill seeing you mentioned on the BBC Travel page:

They knew that you are one of the best!
Thank you,dear. The author Megan is so good!!
So happy to find your recipe through Pinterest! I will look forward for more of your recipes. I am Chinese and grew up eating Cantonese food every meal, every day as well as other cuisines like Szechuan and many memories of enjoying fantastic Chinese traditional holiday and everyday bakery goodies. I am a senior now and I do miss authentic Chinese cooking. After looking at many wannabe Chinese recipes, I ventured on my own to create the best I can of those dishes that I miss. Of course, they were not quite the authentic dishes but for someone living in a city with no Chinatown and only neighborhood Chinese restaurants, my creations were gourmet to me! I came across your Singapore mei fun recipe and looked at it quickly to realize that I finally found the real thing! I happen to have a package of mei fun in the pantry and I am so looking forward to having real Singapore Mei Fun for dinner tomorrow and also to many more of your recipes! Best wishes for your success in the promotion and sharing of authentic Chinese cooking!
Thanks Bee. Happy cooking!
hey Elaine,
My name is Silas.
Discovered your amazing page like 2 months ago.
I have a question, would you mind it if I translate your page/recipes into German?
Tbh i think about making a book out of it or put it onto a German recipe page called „Chefkoch“ https://www.chefkoch.de/
(My adoptive mum is a native speaker and I speak it like she does (but I prefer English))
BTW u can message/reply to me in Chinese if u want to.
thank you so much for making such a page for others to try to cook dishes from our country!
Silas,
Sure, you can translate them as long as well credited.
Hi Elaine!
I want to tell you how much I appreciate your website and your recipes. We found your website looking for a wonton soup recipe. We tried your recipe and fell in love with it. It was just so good. Since then anytime I want Chinese food I check your website. We have enjoyed cooking and eating many of your recipes, and have never been disappointed! We even discovered some favorites we tried while visiting Taiwan but didn’t know what it was called. I love how simple a lot of your recipes are, but they are all delicious. I also appreciate your detailed explanations of the processes you use and why. I feel like cooking your recipes has improved my ability to cook other meals as well. Keep up the good work! 😃
Thank you again from Colorado, USA.
Sammy,
Thanks for the feedback and comment. You are so sweet. I am so glad to be helpful in the kitchen time.
