Recipes
Many foreigners who have lived for a long time in China may find some items are either unobtainable, or ridiculously expensive. If you have ever found yourself yearning for a plate of Butchers sausages, or Cheddar Cheese on fresh bread that does not have 15 tons of molasses added to every slice - then this page is for you!

Others may be new to China and do not know what many of the produce sold are, or what to do with them. Then still others may be looking for genuine Cantonese recipes. We will answer all these questions..

Imperial Measures   I was brought up to use the very practicable Imperial Measuring system, and schools of my era did not even teach the very simplistic metric system. Since my day, schools now appear to only teach the totally inadequate french system, which I do not understand at all - and have absolutely no wish to either. Therefore all measures given by us are in Imperial, and this guide will help you understand what their metric equivalents are.
