Présentation de l'éditeur
Lion's Head, Four Happiness is the captivating story of Xiaomei Martell, who was born in one of China's most remote regions just two years before Mao launched the Cultural Revolution. The youngest of four daughters - her name means 'Little Sister' - her family had no money or connections, yet they raised her with a thirst for knowledge and a love of food, ranging from the Lion's Head meatballs her Uncle Deng cooked to the 'phoenix feet' that apparently cured wrinkles, by way of two-hundred-year-old eggs.
Xiaomei's entertaining and inspiring story takes us to a world where children play with painted pig toes, dumplings give you perfect ears and rather than saying hello, you ask 'chilema' or 'Have you eaten?'
This is a unique and engaging account of a culture and cuisine that is a world away from the China we know today.
Revue de presse
"I found Lion's Head, Four Happiness a riveting memoir set in one of the most tumultuous times in modern Chinese history. It is evident from the salivating accounts of food and cooking that it was the cuisine that helped Xiaomei in her delicious and uplifting journey" (Ken Hom)
"An enchanting glimpse into a fascinating culture" (Michael Booth)
"Martell's gentle account...[contains] lyrical passages" (John Gittings The Guardian)
"An unusual and refreshing memoir" (Warwick Books & Kenilworth Books)
