| Chinese Cooking for Health DIY ! In Less Than 5 Minutes, I Will Show You How To Cook Delicious Chinese meals. I'm Nicholas Zhou. I have loved Chinese food since I was born. I began to learn cooking Chinese food from my mom when I was 9. When I was 12, I began to help my aunt in the kitchen (this was how I paid for my school clothes and supplies). My aunt was a very famous chef in town. Actually she was like the local chief chef and was invited to cook for all the major events, feasts and wedding parties held in town. She taught me everything about cooking - selecting ingredients, balancing nutrition, 6 key techniques in Chinese cooking, 8 Chinese cooking styles and even table etiquette. In the past 10 years, I never stopped learning cooking. I always bring my favorite Joyce Chen wok with me whenever I move to. But I never thought of coming up with a cookbook until 1997. After one and a half years of work, I came up with the Chinese version cookbook in 1998 and got it published with a national publisher. About 560,000 copies have been sold since then. So this is NOT an ordinary cookbook. It is a cookbook packed with: A master chef's 45 years of cooking experience, 20 years of my Chinese cooking practice. Eat a Healthy and Balanced Diet. Some people don't really understand how important eating healthy food is to us. Over a billion people worldwide are now overweight and 300 million are clinically obese. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing serious health problems in later life, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people put on excess weight because their lifestyles include an unhealthy diet and a lack of physical activity. |
