This particular book is a collaboration focused on Yunnan cuisine.More info: Yunnan cuisine (, pinyin: Di nc i; or, pinyin: Y nn n c i) is an amalgam of Han Chinese and Chinese minority cuisines. As the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities, Yunnan has a great variety of food, and it is difficult to make generalisations. Many Yunnanese dishes are quite spicy, and mushrooms feature prominently. Another important characteristic of Yunnan cuisine is the wide use of flowers as food. Two of the province's most famous products are the renowned pu-erh tea which is traditionally grown in Simao; as well as Xuanwei ham, which is often used to flavour stewed and braised foods in Chinese cuisine, as well as for making the stocks and broths of many Chinese soups. *Qi guo ji (Steam pot chicken), chicken steamed with tonic herbs in a special ceramic pot. *Yiliang Roast Duck, crispy skin roast duck similar to Peking duck, but honey is used to crisp and colour the skin. It is roasted with pine branches and needles, which imparts a unique flavour on the duck. *Shiping doufu (Shiping tofu) *Lufu, a type of fermented bean curd, typically used as a condiment or made into sauces. It is reddish yellow in colour, with a soft texture and a savory flavor. *Rushan (cow milk cheese)
