The author of All Under Heaven provides line drawings (including a guide to typical sizes); descriptions of content, taste, and texture; information on origins and common variations; and notes on standard sauces and plate arrangements to aid recognition. Names are rendered in English and in Cantonese, with a pronunciation guide as well as the Chinese characters.
