An A-Z of Chinese food
£25.00An A-Z of Chinese food
Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is ‘An A-Z of Chinese Food’ – a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world. From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who ‘owns’ what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view of a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, ‘An A-Z of Chinese Food’ will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food.

How the world eats
£25.00How the world eats
How we live is shaped by how we eat. You can see this in the vastly different approaches to growing, preparing and eating food around the world, such as the hunter-gatherer Hadza in Tanzania whose sustainable lifestyle is under threat in a crowded planet, or Western societies whose food is farmed or bred in vast intensive enterprises. And most of us now rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal, which is now contending with unprecedented challenges. The need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. In this wide-ranging and definitive book, philosopher Julian Baggini expertly delves into the best and worst food practises in a huge array of different societies, past and present.
