Fuchsia Dunlop, a British chef, is renowned for her expertise in traditional Chinese cooking. Her cookbooks, 'Every Grain of Rice' and 'The Food of Sichuan', are highly recommended. 'Every Grain of Rice' features recipes from various Chinese regions, with simple instructions and emphasis on humble home-cooked dishes.
