There are several books directly called "Food Classics". What we can see now is a fragment of The Book of Food from Jia Sixie's The Book of Qi Yao Min. Because Jia Sixie didn't say who wrote the Book of Food, it was impossible to judge. Sui satirized the Classic of Food in a metabolic way, and quoted Qing He You's cookbook. However, when Gu Tao quoted it, he also explained that it was a "skimming", and only 53 kinds were selected, which is certainly not the whole picture. Even so, from this book, we can see that the techniques of some delicious dishes before the Sui Dynasty are very ingenious, such as "flying licking", that is, cutting the meat like flying with a thin Luan knife with bells. "Duh-ho-ho-ho-ho" is a variety that can be served later. The article "Wang Wuwei gave birth to sheep in the Northern Qi Dynasty" shows that raw mutton was eaten in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is not just fish that can be a sheep.

Cookies are the most important required books in cookbooks, such as Eating and Drinking and Eating with the Garden. These two books are not only cookbooks and cookbooks, but also monographs on diet nutrition and cooking theory respectively, which are of great value to the history of cooking research in China. Here are some representative recipes and recipes.

Books that guide thousands of families to cook in the kitchen, such as Zhong You Record of Pujiang by Wu in Song Dynasty, Zhong You Record by Zeng Yi in Qing Dynasty and Yang Xiaolu by Gu Zhong in Qing Dynasty, are of great reference value.

Remember the recipes based on plant food? The Qing Palace and the Introduction to Vegetarianism in Song Dynasty are both very valuable.

The representative ones, such as Yunlintang Diet System Collection, Wake Up the Garden Record and Tune Set, are memorizing recipes and recipes with local flavor.

Books about cooking materials and their tastes and functions can not be ignored, such as "Food Instructions" by Jia Ming in Yuan Dynasty and "Fun Diet Spectrum" by Wang Shixiong in Qing Dynasty.

There seem to be more books in name than now. Now I can only look at the catalogue of these books and sigh!
