Synopsis

WINNER of the 2015 Canadian Cook Book of the Year Award


In this enchanting collection of fairy tales, including original stories and interpretations of Chinese folklore by master storyteller Paul Yee, a glorious procession of characters - peasants, ghosts, merchants, demons, villagers and kings - make their appearance. The stories presented here all feature food prominently; and each tale is followed by a simple recipe for a classic Chinese dish relevant to the story. Yee also offers scholarly anecdotes on Chinese culture and culinary history, whilst the dazzling drawings give a wealth of cultural details.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'A sumptuous Chinese banquet with thirteen enchanting fairy tales on the menu - centuries-old stories of gods, ghosts, noblemen, monks, peasants, farmers, and merchants all motivated by some aspect of food having or not having it, growing, cooking, relishing, transforming it.' - --Jama's Alphabet Soup

"In addition to the recipes and details about cuisine, Yee includes proverbs, information about the origins of the stories, and brief insights into Chinese history and culture, making this a collection to feed the mind and the body." --Publisher's Weekly
