Krátky popis
'A galloping journey through thousands of years of Chinese culinary
history . . .a timely reminder that the country's modern cuisine is
the delicious fruit of a rich, ancient and perhaps surprisingly
multicultural tradition' FUCHSIA DUNLOP, SPECTATOR'A tasty portrait
of a nation' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH'A splendid introduction to the
complex history of China' GUARDIAN'A terrific read . . .Jonathan
Clements writes with erudition and humour' DAILY MAIL'This book is
itself a feast, each chapter a sumptuous course'Frederik L. Schodt,
author of My Heart Sutra'Witty and insightful' Derek Sandhaus,
author of Drunk in China****************The history of China - not
according to emperors or battles, but according to its food and
drink. The Emperor's Feast is the epic story of a nation and a
people, told through one of its most fundamental pillars and
successful exports: food.Following the journeys of different
ingredients, dishes and eating habits over 5,000 years of history,
author and presenter Jonathan Clements examines how China's
political, cultural and technological evolution and her remarkable
entrance onto the world stage have impacted how the Chinese - and
the rest of the world - eat, drink and cook. We see the influence
of invaders such as the Mongols and the Manchus, and discover how
food - like the fiery cuisine of Sichuan or the hardy dishes of the
north - often became a stand-in for regional and national
identities. We also follow Chinese flavours to the shores of Europe
and America, where enterprising chefs and home cooks created new
traditions and dishes unheard of in the homeland.From dim sum to
mooncakes to General Tso's chicken, The Emperor's Feast shows us
that the story of Chinese food is ultimately the story of a nation:
not just the one that history tells us, but also the one that China
tells us about itself.
