Introduce a handful of salt

A handful of salt is a food book written by Zuo Zhuang, a Canadian Chinese writer. The author wrote at the beginning: "When I saw the soup, I didn't have to cook it myself. American laboratories can cultivate chicken legs and steaks, and even all-chemical foods without any natural plant ingredients have appeared. I decided to write a family food book with only natural seasonings and a handful of salt, and adjust the ingredients with the seasons. " The author thinks that many cuisines pay too much attention to complicated seasoning, and often ignore the origin of food, the process of planting and the geographical change of weather. This is also a natural and artificial seasoning process. A truly excellent chef can't blindly pursue the shocking taste and style, but should focus on making every ingredient highlight the original flavor of the food, and making these dishes requires high temperature and knife work, including the producer's mentality. "A handful of salt" is divided into four parts: traditional food, integration of Chinese and western, health concept and kitchen tips. Wonderful writing, integrating aesthetics, philosophy, history, science and folklore, dedicates nearly 100 original recipes to readers, which is not only an excellent reference book for home cooking, but also a masterpiece for leisure reading. Regarding the relationship between diet and human health, the Chinese-Canadian chef advocated the rational cognitive logic between individual adaptability and diet with his keen observation, combined with his own cooking experience, and summed up the eight-character truth of healthy eating life: "Unity of knowledge and action, harmony and moderation".
