    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.

      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.

      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.

      Hi there
      I just wanted to thank you for sharing the recipe for the spring roll wrappers. I have tried the common traditional method that is 99% of the recipes which requires kneading, and nearly drove me insane trying to make. Then I tried yours, and success! No mess and so easy.
      I was desperate to make these as I couldn't find them in the shops where I live. They remind me of home and my mother's cooking.

      It's my 1st try and some are a bit crispy, not as flexible. Did I cook them too long? They are cooling down under a moist towel as I type...hope they will soften a bit to be rollable.
      Thank you very much for this 🙂

        Emily,
        After cooled down, it will absorb the humidity of the air and thus turn softer and chewy.
