Lately I've run across a couple of references to a subgenre of
Chinese food that is vegetarian.  It has some religious connection
(Buddhist?), and is heavily into making things that aren't meat or fish
look like meat or fish.  There's something about it in one of the
restaurant columns in the lastest issue of Gourmet.  So I would
guess there must be restaurants in China that specialize in this.  Does
anyone know of a cookbook pertaining to this?
