The Mainland China Cookbook

Mainland China is one of the most popular fine dining Chinese restaurants in India. One of the few Indian restaurant chains to have a pan-Indian presence, it is open in over twenty cities across the country, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow. In The Mainland China Cookbook, restaurant owner Anjan Chatterjee reveals the recipes that are used by his chefs in preparing their most popular Chinese dishes. The book focuses on authentic Chinese cuisine as opposed to the Indianized preparation of Chinese dishes. The recipes come from all over China, including the provinces of Canton, Hunan, and Sichuan. The Mainland China Cookbook highlights the differences in regional styles of cooking and provides suggestions for achieving the authentic taste and look for each recipe. Some of the recipes explained in the book are Sizzling Eggplant with Spicy Tomato Garlic Sauce, Konjee Crispy Lamb, Barbecued Chicken with Mantao Bunse, and Crispy Vegetables Beijing Style.
