We also experience lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Year’s buffet from 1920s Shanghai and a delivery menu from the hyper-global twenty-first century, and even peek at the tables of the not-so-distant future. Drawing upon decades of experience eating his way around China, Beijing-based historian Thomas David DuBois explains why culinary fashions come and go, as well as recreates dozens of historical recipes in a modern kitchen. From fermented elk to absinthe cocktails, this is Chinese food as you’ve never seen it before.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmAuthor: Thomas David DuBoisGenre: Food & DrinkRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
