Cooking or Not in Shanghai

I used to cook, but that was before I moved to China. I was decent, willing to experiment and enjoyed the experience. Things are different now, restaurants are too inexpensive and my time is too valuable for me to warrant cooking on a regular basis.

Since I don’t routinely cook in Shanghai I post few recipes on Kung Fu Eats. I am determined to change that. Recipes allow the more adventurous to sample a bit of China in their own homes.

Unfortunately, I think the vast majority of recipes out there today limit people’s creativity. Cooking has become little more than a mundane manufacturing task in the modern home. The mass market pre-packaged plague of modern civilization removes all the enjoyment from an otherwise creative adventure.

Expect to see more recipes on Kung Fu Eats. I won’t be adding them for every dish, but they will appear from time to time. The recipes will be left a little vague so there will be ample room to add your own flair and adjust them to your liking.

Cooking should be a challenging and creative endeavor. Along the way though, be sure to have fun and try to learn something with each exciting escapade.
