Beyond beautiful
A lovely book with interesting recepies. All that I had hoped for. It is heavy, to be read at a desk/table and not in bed. Even if you don't cook it is worth owning and would be the perfect gift for an arm chair traveler.

A politically cooked cookbook
Given the authors' backgrounds of "flower generation" and drug uses it is no suriprising to see a book that reflexibly and mindlessly bashes China for everything and anything (the same way they treat Judeo-Christian heritage); the surprising part of the book is that it is disguised as a cookbook plus travel book. It is odd that they view Chinese ethnic minorities as non-Chinese (if the same principle applies to the US; it would put we non-Whites as aliens - hello!) - lending to the suspicion that they may be closet White Supremacists with a Marxism twist. The people who cheer for this book are either naive or evil - there is no nice way of saying about racism.

Beautifuyl book. Fine recipes. Thoughtful and informative text which gives insight into the China which is beyond the tour busses. Strongly recommend.
