Synopsis

This beautifully illustrated Chinese cookbook features all the most popular feast and festival food along with a wealth information.

It is often said that the Chinese live to eat. Happily for them, the rich culinary tradition of China is largely inspired by a calendar year filled with a generous round of joyous occasions--festivals, reunions, weddings and anniversaries--for eating, drinking and making merry. And, of course, for paying homage to the gods and ancestors.

Food, fittingly, is a combination of flavors and symbols (wealth, happiness, luck, prosperity), a spiritual celebration and an earthly pleasure. Chinese Feasts & Festivals, S.C. Moey has assembled a number of facts and fancies as well as a collection of festival specialties for the Chinese food lover to read and enjoy or, if the spirit takes flight, cook up a feast that will impress both mortals and ancestors and win the approval of the gods.

Authentic Chinese recipes include:

• Drunken Chicken
• Steamed Duck with Bamboo Shoots
• Five Spice Rolls
• Spicy Sichuanese Lamb
• Sweet and Sour Fish
• Chinese Lettuce Leaf Cups
• Yangzhou Fried Rice
• Sweet Red Bean Pancakes
• Steamed Rice Flour Cupcakes
• New Years Cakes
