==== Chinese ====
Chinese recipe books are known from the [[Tang dynasty]], but most were lost.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}} One of the earliest surviving Chinese-language cookbooks is "Madame Wu's" [[Wushi Zhongkuilu]] from the late 13th century and [[Hu Sihui]]'s "[[Yinshan Zhengyao]]" (Important Principles of Food and Drink), believed to be from 1330. Hu Sihui, [[Buyantu Khan]]'s dietitian and therapist, recorded a Chinese-inflected Central Asian cuisine as eaten by the [[Yuan dynasty|Yuan]] court; his recipes were adapted from foods eaten all over the [[Mongol Empire]].<ref>Hu Sihui, Paul D. Buell, Eugene N.
