The Lower Yangtze region or Jiangnan, with its modern capital Shanghai, has been known since ancient times as a »Land of Fish and Rice». For centuries, local cooks have been using the plentiful produce of its lakes, rivers, fields and mountains, combined with delicious seasonings and flavours such as rice vinegar, rich soy sauce, spring onion and ginger, to create a cuisine that is renowned in China for its delicacy and beauty.
