Fruit, Vegetables and Gourds |
|
This page introduces one
of several new sections to our recipes section, and
deals with fruit, vegetables, and other things like
gourds. We describe each one and how it is used. Some
are simply washed and eaten, whilst others form the
basis of specific Chinese dishes.
The date is now Friday 6th August 2010, and we estimate
it will take about 6-months to complete this section.
Mushrooms and Fungi have
their own dedicated page, which you can find here
