'A brilliant, passionate and spellbinding tour de force' Claudia
Roden'Fuchsia Dunlop is one of the world's best writers on Chinese
food' Ken Hom CBE The epic tale of the world's most sophisticated
gastronomic culture, told through a banquet of thirty Chinese
dishesChinese was the earliest truly global cuisine. When the first
Chinese labourers began to sojourn and settle abroad, restaurants
appeared in their wake. Yet Chinese food has the curious
distinction of being both one of the world's best-loved culinary
traditions and one of the least understood.For more than a century,
the overwhelming dominance of a simplified form of Cantonese
cooking ensured that few foreigners experienced anything of its
richness and sophistication - but today that is beginning to
change. In this book, the James Beard Award-winning cook and writer
Fuchsia Dunlop explores the history, philosophy and techniques of
China's rich and ancient culinary culture. Each chapter examines a
classic dish, from mapo tofu to Dongpo pork, knife-scraped noodles
to braised pomelo pith, to reveal a singular aspect of Chinese
gastronomy, whether it's the importance of the soybean, the lure of
exotic ingredients or the history of Buddhist vegetarian
cuisine.Meeting local food producers, chefs, gourmets and home
cooks as she tastes her way across the country, Fuchsia invites
readers to join her on an unforgettable journey into Chinese food
as it is made, cooked, eaten and considered in its homeland.
Weaving together historical scholarship, mouth-watering
descriptions of food and on-the-ground research conducted over the
course of three decades, Invitation to a Banquet is a lively,
landmark tribute to the pleasures and mysteries of Chinese cuisine.

Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
