Techniques, Ingredients & Recipes
Chinese is one of the world’s most beloved cuisines, but cooking Chinese food at home can still feel daunting to many. The Complete Illustrated Guide to Chinese Cooking breaks down 100 classic recipes, demystifying ingredients and techniques, and inspiring home cooks of all levels. Every single recipe has an illustrated ingredient breakdown, step-by-step photography, and a photo of the finished dish.
Broken down into three parts: Essentials, Recipes, and an Illustrated Glossary, The Complete Illustrated Guide to Chinese Cooking teaches basic techniques for everything from making dumplings from scratch, from dough to pleating, plus four different noodle styles including knife-cut and hand-pulled noodles, to how to cook a perfect pot of rice or break down different cuts of meat. In the Recipes section learn how to make favorite dishes like Mapo Tofu, Hot and Sour Soup, Sticky Rice, and Popcorn Chicken, as well as desserts like egg tarts and mooncakes. And throughout the book learn the basic sauces, spices, and condiments that make Chinese cooking so delicious, plus how to shop for these essential ingredients confidently.
Copious photography and annotated illustrations help readers understand unique methods, and clear instruction makes the recipes achievable. This is a comprehensive book for all lovers of Chinese cuisine.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
