Ancient Chinese recipes originated in the Six Dynasties, however, recipes written before the Sung Dynasty have been lost. Since the Sung Dynasty, there have been more and more recipes that have emphasized on nutrition, diet. Most representative of this trend is the ”Shan Jia Qing Gong” written by Hong Lin. This recipe book contains a total of 104 dishes, 32 of which are related to nutrition and diet. This section occupies about one third of this book. The author, Hong Lin, mainly selected local vegetables for his dishes, a fact which is reflected the title of this book. He created a great variety of dishes ranging from congee, stews, noodles, vegetable dishes, cakes, pastries all the way to dumplings. All of these were to be made with simple seasonings and cooking methods. These principles of nutrition and diet were to be followed. People were to partake of particular dishes at particular times. They were also to be mindful of nutritional/dietary contradictions, lest their food should lose its nutritional benefits or even become harmful. These ideas were all addressed in detail in Hong Lin's book. In this chapter, we will be discussing the nutrition and diet of the people of the Sung Dynasty. |
