SUNDAY: Sichuan Food Suitable for a Leisurely Lunch

I wish there were a proper Sichuan restaurant in sleepy backwater Pui O – or even Cheung Sha or Mui Wo. I’d go every day. One thing I’ve discovered about Sichuan food on my many travels through the mainland is that Sichuan food has everything your body needs. Even after eating it every day for two or three weeks, even a month, I crave no other food. That must mean that Sichuan food is nutritionally perfect.

But of course, the most important thing is that it tastes so damn good. That’s why I started cooking for the people of Lantau (and other places) – to give them joy and, dare I say, a little piece of Paradise on their chopsticks.

Unfortunately though, I can’t always accommodate the hungry hordes, but to alleviate their suffering I have written a cookbook with 20 extremely easy to make recipes.

Just click here to download it right into your iPad, laptop or phone. I paid a company (one of the worst, most inept companies I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, by the way) put it on book sellers’ website but as far as I can see, you have to live in that country to buy the book! Not very internet-y, eh? So just get it straight from this site.. It’s cheaper too.

長沙 (Cheung Saa – Long Beach[sand])
梅窩 (Mui Wo – Plum Den)
天堂 (Tin tong – Heavenly Hall/Paradise)

But if you don’t like cooking you can also come to my place, of course. Minimum eight people, beer included.
