Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China

When we think about food in China, what usually comes to mind are the signature dishes of Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai. But beyond the urbanized eastern third of China lie the high open spaces and sacred places of Tibet, the Silk Road oases of Xinjiang, the steppelands of Inner Mongolia, and the steeply terraced hills of Yunnan and Guizhou. The peoples who live in these regions are culturally distinct, with their own history and their own unique culinary traditions. In BEYOND THE GREAT WALL, award-winning authors Jeffery Alford and Naomi Duguid bring home the enticing flavors of this other China through 125 recipes and over 300 photographs. von Alford, Jeffrey;Duguid, Naomi;
