All Under Heaven

Más información sobre el libro

Vaulting from ancient taverns near the Yangtze River to banquet halls in modern Taipei, All Under Heaven offers a comprehensive, contemporary portrait of China’s culinary landscape and the geography and history that has shaped it. With over 300 recipes and lucid, set-by-step instructions, this is the first cookbook in English to examine all thirty-five cuisines of China. Drawing on centuries’ worth of culinary texts, as well as her own years working, eating, and cooking in Taiwan, Carolyn Phillips has written a spirited, symphonic love letter to the flavors and textures she fell in love with over thirty years ago. From simple fried green onion noodles to Lotus-wrapped Spicy Rice Crumb Pork, All Under Heaven serves as both a handbook for the novice and a source of inspiration for the veteran chef. All Under Heaven features illustrations on almost every page and hand-drawn maps of each culinary region. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the cuisine and culinary history of China. Whether covering street food, banquet dishes, homemade drinks, or sweets, All Under Heaven is the first cookbook to do full justice to the startling diversity and ingenuity of Chinese cuisine.
