Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have cooked *many* dishes from the excellent first edition---which had the different title, "Land of Plenty"---so I was especially keen to try the 70 NEW recipes in this new edition, the existence of which was announced in the blurb and in the Preface. However, strangely and sadly, this new edition does not contain a simple list of these new recipes, nor does it have any kind of marker or comment next to a dish that is new to this edition. I even searched, unsuccessfully, for such a list on Ms. Dunlop's own website. Fortunately, TheMalaMarket---a wonderful online seller of the specialized Sichuan ingredients needed to make these recipes---featured a Q&A with Ms. Dunlop about "The Food of Sichuan". I posted a comment/question that went with this Q&A, asking if such a LIST of the NEW recipes existed. Taylor, the founder of TheMaLaMarket, was kind enough to respond to me, explaining that Ms. Dunlop had indeed posted such a list on her Facebook page, back in October, 2019. Taylor was kind enough to email me the list directly, rather than making me hunt for it. To repay my karmic debt, I am here posting the list that Taylor sent me. [DISCLAIMER: I am a professor of mathematics, and have no connection with TheMalaMarket, other than being a very satisfied customer.] THE FOOD OF SICHUAN (2019) NEW RECIPES IN THIS EDITION (70 plus 12 variations below main recipes) Cold dressed chicken (this replaces earlier recipes for cold dressed chicken) Broccoli with sesame oil Spinach in a sour-and-hot dressing Steamed aubergines with scorched green peppers Sour and hot wood ear salad (appeared in Every Grain of Rice) Cold fish in spicy sauce Three sliver salad (with 3 variations) Old Arabian cold beef Dry tossed beef Spiced chicken hearts Smacked cucumber in garlicky sauce (plus 1 variation) Tragically hot water spinach salad North Sichuan cool starch jelly (plus 1 variation) Firm tofu with celery and peanuts (appeared in Every Grain of Rice) Slivered pig’s ear in chilli oil sauce ‘Rabbit eaten cold’ Bowl-steamed pork in ricemeal with peas (this appeared in Every Grain of Rice) Li Zhuang ‘head bowl’ Sichanese stir fried bacon Stewed pork with carrots Spicy blood stew Scalded kidneys with fresh chilli Dry-braised beef tendons Zigong small-fried chicken Stir-fried chicken with preserved vegetable Braised chicken with baby taro Fish-fragrant fried chicken ‘One tender bite’ Steamed egg custard with minced pork topping Boiled fish in a seething sea of chillies Dry-braised prawns Gong Bao prawns with cashew nuts Fish with fresh chilli and green Sichuan pepper Tofu with minced meat in fermented sauce Leshan ‘bear’s paw’ tofu Mount Emei spicy silken tofu Xiba tofu Stir-fried mashed broad beans with spring onion Stir fried lotus root with chillies and Sichuan pepper Tender boiled vegetables with a spicy dip (a version appeared in Every Grain of Rice) Dry fried ‘eels’ Stir fried cabbage with chilli Stir fried cabbage with pork cracklings ‘Crossing the river’ choy sum Stewed baby taro with greens Stir-fried celery with minced pork Fried egg and tomato soup Thick split pea soup (also appeared in Every Grain of Rice; plus 1 variation) Boiled pumpkin soup Simple choy sum soup Meatball and vegetable soup Sour and hot flower tofu soup Chicken with ginkgo nuts ‘Rice broth’ with vegetables Smothered glutinous rice with peas and cured pork Thin rice porridge (plus 2 variations) Chongqing small noodles (plus 4 variations) Soup noodles with shredded pork and pickled greens Sichuan soup noodles with minced pork topping Hand-made sweet water noodles Copper Well Lane vegetarian noodles Cold buckwheat noodles Sour and hot sweet potato noodles Chengdu wontons with dried chilli sauce Juntun guokui pastries Stuffed eggy pancakes Spiced ‘oil tea’ with crunchy toppings A ‘small dish’ of radish slivers ‘Sweet cooked white’ rice pudding Iced mung bean soup NEW RECIPES GIVEN AS VARIATIONS BELOW MAIN RECIPES Chongqing sauce for cold chicken Spicy dip for cold chicken 1 Spicy dip for cold chicken 2 ‘Lettuce captured alive’ Spiced potato sliver salad LARGELY REWORKED RECIPES TO REPLACE PREVIOUS VERSIONS ‘Strange flavour’ bang bang chicken Green soybeans in a simple stock sauce Man-and-wife offal slices Dry-fried beef Dry-fried chicken Chicken with chestnuts Chongqing chicken with chillies Home made nigari flower tofu (plus 4 dips)
