    Hello!  Thanks for stopping by.

    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.  Growing up, I traveled around China and I enjoyed the yummy dishes from many different cuisines.  Thus I write this blog, to introduce my favorite dishes and share 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 to 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 China Sichuan Food.

    Wish everyone happy cooking.

      I came here for a recipe and method for simple noodles. Perfect and delicious. I keep coming back to try more of your recipes, which really appeal to my taste. Straightforward to follow, but really deliver on texture and taste.

      Simple things like sweetened soy have taken my flavours to a different level. Texture is so often overlooked in westernised recipes. These have the perfect balance for me.

      Thank you Elaine.

      Hi, I think there may be an error in the ingredient list.

      1/2 pepper , cut into pieces
      1/2 bell pepper , cut into pieces

      It's not clear what the difference between the two peppers is. Also, I do not see any bell pepper in the photograph. Did you mean small, hot chili peppers instead?

      Hello I just discovered your blog today and I must say that I'm impressed! So many dishes that I've been wanting to try are clearly explained . I'm wondering whether to start from the steamed chicken black bean the oyster mushroom or ants climbing. Thank you, from Mauritius

      I lived in Chengdu a few years. Thanks for the great Sichuan recipes. I have been looking for a recipe for what I know as jian Dan mian - a very hearty and basic soup I would often eat late at night. All my internet searches have been fruitless. Basics were fried egg, a tomato soup base, noodles and a few greens. Are you familiar with this dish?

      Hi Elaine,

      thanks for another year of delicious new recipes and also for constantly updating and refining the old ones. While 2020 wasn't that great with all kinds of restrictions home cooking was one of the things for me that really lightened things up.

      Thank you again for all the hard work you put into this site to teach the secrets of Chinese cooking!

      Happy New Year

      Must say tha t I like your website/blog so much!, pretty much every week I make one of the recipes. I’ve never been disappointed. I absolutely agree with the above 10 dishes that everyone should try. Ther’s just one question I have.: could you post the recipe for Dong Po pork joint too? I’d be happy to try it.
