The combination of his exquisite French cooking with Chinese culinary tradition sparks a new chapter of cultural exchange. Nicolas also shares his insights on some of most mysterious aspects of traditional Chinese medicine and food culture. Words from the Author: "I want to share in Shanghai Flair my recipes along with some stories that have touched my heart when I was living in Shanghai. Many see China as a vast land of strong economic growth and mammoth urban expansion, but I see her as a homeland of great cultures and inspiration. I also want to bring attention to the true Chinese culture in different cities. The first stop is Shanghai, because Shanghai opened the first chapter of my stories in Asia. After all, it is the city that made me fall in love with China." "Each recipe in this book has a story of its own. I hope you will enjoy both the stories and the recipes. Food without a story merely fills the stomach without nourishing the soul."
