BACKGROUND: REGIONAL FRENCH FOOD South-West France: In the south-west of France the emphasis is on rich foods. The main specialities are duck, foie gras, prunes, oysters, mushrooms and truffles. And of course a nice rich red Bordeaux wine to go with it. Confit de canard, foie gras and pruneaux d'agen are local specialities. North-West France: Normandy is best known for its apples (used also for cider and calvados) and its seafood, especially mussels and oysters. Camembert cheese also comes from Normandy. Next door in Brittany you can't escape the crepe, found in every town and every street corner, these are most commonly eaten sweet (sugar / sugar and lemon / butter and sugar)
BACKGROUND: REGIONAL FRENCH FOOD North-east France: perhaps slightly less exciting than some areas of France, it is the staples that are best known - potatoes, cabbages, beetroots - vegetables that are harder to grow in the warmer, more southern parts of France. Charcuterie (cold meats) are also popular. Happily the region also produces champagne. Eastern France: Heavily influenced by German food, pickled cabbage and pork related products are popular. Heavy savoury pastries and tarts are popular. The most famous product in the region is the much derided Quiche Lorraine. Foie gras and jams / preserves are also well regarded in the region. http://www.francethisway.com/frenchrecipes/foodinfrance.php

BACKGROUND: YIN & YANG IN CHINESE FOODS Yin and yang. Hot and cold. Male and female. The philosophy of yin and yang lies at the heart of Chinese culture. The first references to yin and yang come from Confucius. Taken literally, yin and yang mean the dark side and sunny side of a hill. http://chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa101899.htm
BACKGROUND: YIN & YANG IN CHINESE FOODS People commonly think of yin and yang as opposing forces. However, it is really more appropriate to view them as complementary pairs. The Chinese believe problems arise not when the two forces are battling, but when there is an imbalance between them in the environment - all can be attributed to disharmony in the forces of yin and yang.
BACKGROUND: YIN & YANG IN CHINESE FOODS A basic adherence to this philosophy can be found in any Chinese dish, from stir-fried beef with broccoli to sweet and sour pork. There is always a balance in color, flavors, and textures. However, belief in the importance of following the principles of yin and yang in the diet extends further. For example, let's say you're suffering from heartburn, caused by consuming too many spicy (yang) foods. Instead of antacids, you're likely to take home a prescription for herbal teas to restore the yin forces.
