{"product_id":"9781789148619","title":"China in Seven Banquets : A Flavourful History by Thomas David DuBois","description":"China in Seven Banquets ranges through 5,000 years of China's food history in seven iconic meals, from the ancient Eight Treasures f?te to the `Tail-Burning Banquet' of the Tang Dynasty and the Qing court's extravagant `Complete Manchu-Han Feast'. We also experience lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Year's buffet from 1920s Shanghai and a delivery menu from the hyperglobal twenty-first century, even peeking into the tables of the not-too-distant future. Drawing on decades of experience eating his way around China, 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44203457675442,"sku":"9781789148619","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789148619.jpg?v=1714585342","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789148619","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
