What would you do if you had a book that told you everything - from how to look after your health, how to raise your family and how to cast your own horoscope, right through to how to make a decent meal or brew your own alcohol?

Of course, not living in china, and probably notbeing able to read Chinese - that's of very little use to you, until now. Dr Charles Windridge, whose wife is Chinese and runs a restaurant, found that many people would ask her questions about Chinese culture, but that, due to her limited grasp of English, he would find himself having to answer the questions ...
