Description and Table of Contents
Description
This delightful book presents a picture of Chinese manners and dining etiquette that is as accurate today as it was when it was first published in 1935. Complemented by a selection of Chinese proverbs, line drawings and photographs, chapters deal with the convention of Chinese food, wine, ingredients, and how to order a meal. In addition, the book features a selection of recipes gathered by the author over twenty years of hospitality at the tables of princes, peasants, generals, and innkeepers.
