Fruit, Vegetables and Gourds
This page introduces one of several new sections to our recipes section, and deals with fruit, vegetables, and other things like gourds. We describe each one and how it is used. Some are simply washed and eaten, whilst others form the basis of specific Chinese dishes.

The date is now Friday 6th August 2010, and we estimate it will take about 6-months to complete this section.

Mushrooms and Fungi have their own dedicated page, which you can find here
