Chinoiserie (English: /ÊinËwÉËzri/, French:; loanword from French chinoiserie, from chinois, Chinese) is the European interpretation and imitation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, especially in the decorative arts, garden design, architecture, literature, theatre, and music.
A chinois (. [Êin.wÉ]) is a conical sieve with an extremely fine mesh. It is used to strain custards, purees, soups, and sauces, producing a very smooth texture. It can also be used to dust food with a fine layer of powdered ingredient. Chinois is a loanword from the French adjective meaning Chinese. A related utensil is the tamis-a flat strainer through which food is pressed with a scraper or pestle. A similarly-shaped utensil is the China cap, a reference to the conical Asian hats common in China.
