China in Seven Banquets is a culinary journey through 5,000 years of Chinese food history, featuring seven iconic meals. From the ancient Eight Treasures fête to the Tang Dynasty's Tail-Burning Banquet and the Qing courts' Complete Manchu-Han Feast, the book explores lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Years buffet from 1920s Shanghai, and a delivery menu from the hyperglobal twenty-first century. Beijing-based historian Thomas David DuBois explains why culinary fashions come and go and recreates dozens of historical recipes in a modern kitchen. From fermented elk to absinthe cocktails, this is Chinese food as you've never seen it before.
