Why the Chinese Don't Count Calories by Lorraine Clissold

A favourite Chinese greeting is Ni chi fan le ma? - Have you eaten yet? Unlike many in the West, the Chinese see food not as a chore to prepare and source of unwanted calories, but a health-giving pleasure. In 16 short, captivating chapters, Lorraine Clissold explains why the Chinese can eat as much as they want without worrying about their weight. With examples and recipes, Lorraine shows how the Chinese balance their diet by satisfying their taste buds with five flavours, by eating a mixture of staple foods and carefully prepared dishes, and by making sure they eat the right proportions of solids, liquids and hot and cold foods.
Lorraine Clissold lived in Beijing for ten years, where she juggled roles as wife, mother, TV presenter and writer, and established the Chinese Cooking School. Married to Tim, author of Mr China, she is based in North Yorkshire.
