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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 518g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 147 x 224 x 31 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781789148619\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas David DuBois","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45911299260666,"sku":"9781789148619","price":12.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1714764898623_book.jpg?v=1715413934","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/china-in-seven-banquets-a-flavourful-history-9781789148619","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
